Hi Everyone
EA 3.9 MPI recon. who supplies and/or fits engines that are value for money
in the Adelaide metro area?
Anyone have stories either good or bad from personal experience,
I have had two quotes over the phone, on from a well known local establishment
who has the attitude "do everything just because it's better" the costs being
$2500 engine
$800 labour for 10 to 11 hours ( $72 per hour?)
$200 incidentals
Total $3500
The second from an establishment recomended by several in the taxi industry,
who suggests doing a "leak down" test on the rings rather than seperating the
engine just on spec. he also notes that replacing the timing cover with one from
an ED fixes the timing cover oil leak problem permantly.
Costs approx for bearing shells, new timing chain etc. rear seal and ancillarys
including labour as $2000
Anyone have thoughts on this ?
Regards Prof. Rabbit
