Just wondering price range it should cost me to have new valves and rings put in my car…. Im going to have a shop do it, and I don’t feel like getting f***ed in the A@@

 

sooo.... if its gonna cost a ton, im just gonna ger a new car.......but wut im wondering is if its gonna b worth it to get it fixed or is it gonna cost a furtune...

 

What car? Model?Transmission? Mods? Miles?

Every shop is different. The actual cost of parts is super cheap... but the labour is whats going to kill you. The price will vary hugely from place to place. So its impossible to give you a quote on that... your best bet is to call around local places and find out

 

4.5 estimated labor my mechanic is doin mine for $350 that includes a head swap it was $300 for lifter fix. Mitsubishi dealer quoted the same. $300-$350 labor

 

Not sure what you consider "cheap" parts.
Just rebuilt the lower end of our 96 Eclipse 2.0L, non-turbo, 5-spd.
Spun the No. 1 rod bearing.

Rings, bearings, oil pump, 1 rod, head bolts (should replace), timing belt,gasket kit.
Block vatted, cylinders honed, crank turned, mains reconditioned, 1 rod pressed off/on.
NOTHING done to the head.

We pulled, tore down, rebuilt and reinstalled.

$600.00 in parts and labor ($175.00 labor). As I said above, NO head work.

Rebuilding is NOT a cheap thing, but beats replacement cost.

Good luck,

Mike

BTW, we are now starting the rebuild of an 85 Nissan 300ZX, V-6, non-turbo, 5-spd. The funnever ends.

 

Darknigh is looking at getting a i think 1982 280zx. now that is a hot looking old car.
