Wondering what a decent shop charges to swap cams? I can turn a wrench, but swapping cams might be out of my league.

 

It shouldn't take a good shop more than an hour and a half to two hours plus whatever rate for tuning.

 

Yeah thats what i figured...What are shop rates $70-?? an hour

 

probably anywhere from 70+ .. mitsubishi is like 81 an hour..

 

Between $70-90ish. I'd say look for some sort of special. Like cams + labor + tuning for $1000 or something. We usually charge around $960 for all that together so expect that.

 

Yeah i have to get retuned by Al anyway. Maybe ICS or Al can do it. Im in CT

 

I'd charge about $300 to do cams.

 

its way easy with the timing tool, i have 2 incase i break one, but i can do cams in under a hour with that. dont really mess with the timing belt

 

we bill out around $250-280 for labor alone to install cams. this is what book time calls for and if you install them the right way this is how long it takes.

slipping the belt off the cam gears and slipping it back on is not the right way to do it with the type of tensioner the Evo uses.

 

I payed 150$ for a cam job

 

I can do cams in 1.5 hours. Most shops try to charge around $300, I would not pay more than $200.

 

I just got qouted $400 for the cams and headstuds. Seems kinda high, but i know ICS can do it right. I hope.
