agree with burn I do
but let's go into it a little further...
Quote:2001 Savage, approx 18K. I just got a quote of $900+ to repair the engine: cam, valves, chain
I'm guessin' at all the prices, haven't looked at them in quite a while.
You shouldn't need a cam unless they screwed up last time and plugged your oil port to the head. (250?)
Valves should also be ok.
Chain, yep if you're not doing the verslavy (which you had) you'd replace the chain and guides. think it's 90 + 60 + 50, plus gaskets(20).
Someone who knows how, can have it on the bench in many pieces in 2 hrs. (90 per hr?)
Send the head out (100 maybe 100 for parts)
At 20k piston may be loose but ok to go further.
replace head and base gasket (40?)
that adds up to 900 and I didn't even put it back together, about 3 hrs.
