Needs head gaskets done. any takers?
-
I can check with jake(rawsomotion) and see what all data says for time. but $50 an hour is what I was expecting.
What were you quoted for all this? Just wondering if we are even in the same ballpark
-
rawsomotion is $50 an hour for cash. I'd pay $85 if thats flat rate and under 10 hours of labor. where are ypu located?
Ah I see, we are at $85 an hour. Good luck in your search.

I'd have to look up labor but I assume its more than 10 hours with everything you need done. Call another shop and get a quote. I assume they won't even do it over the phone and would need to see the car in person.
a shop quoted me $2000-3000. at that point I will just wait until jake is free'd up and have him do it. I know his labor for 15 hours would be $750.
-
My bad. Jake is $65-70 an hour. so around $1000 for 15 hours of labor. can a
nyone match that?
-
That's still not bad. In all honesty you can probably tackle this as even the gasket on my m42 was very simple.
i know I could do it. this cars head gasket would be easier than my jetta's. which i did. but i just don't want to.

Speaking of Jake, I just took a look at his site and Rawsomotion is closing up shop in Germantown and he's joining up with Endless Autosport in West Allis. Good to see he's staying in the mix.
-
jake said $1040 for 16 hours of labor.
he thinks this job should be 4-8 hours
i'm just going to have the head gaskets done, the cap, plugs and wires and water pump gasket.

Not a huge fan of the Rawsomotion guy, he sold me a diff, I asked if it leaked from the input seal. He said no, and that it leaked a bit from the rear cover.
I put it in my car, and it leaked about 3 tablespoons every time I drove it. From the input seal. Not too thrilled lol.
Sorry for thread crapping, but I just thought of that. -
no one?
