Engine Out / In Cost
Posted: Thu Oct 18, 2018 8:11 am
Hey guys and gals,
Recently been experiencing some blue smoke from my MY06 Spec B Liberty wagon H6 when i start it up, which has lead my non-mechanic brain to think it's the valve stems.
I called RevZone in Ringwood the other day and was told that a simple engine out / in would cost over $2000 without even doing anything with it. Just trying to get an understanding of how this costs so much or if i should contact somewhere else. My understanding is the only parts that would be required would be fluids for an engine out / in, then just labour but surely not ~20 hours worth. (Dealers say around $100 hr for labour so thats my guide)
Anyone able to guide me here? As i don't have this kind of money to dispose of right now and have zero experience with cars.
Thanks.
