Ok guys,
I need your input on this please, i would like to get an idea as to the cost for installing new cams on my Evo8.I already bought my GSC S2 and just like to know what to pay to install these don't wanna over or anything like that.I would like to hear from you as to how much you paid to get yours install so i will have a clear picture thanks.

 

I'm having GSC R2's install next week for $200
Not sure if that's good or bad?

 

thats what the shop quote me for so i yeah lets hope we r getting a fair deal.

 

does anyone know how much more to install new valve springs as well, since i will be in there i decided to just change them as well as its highly recommended by GSC power division.

 

i normally do cams and valve train for 275.00. i remember when shops were charging 300+ just for cam installs. i refused to pay that and learned to do it my self.

 

ok $275 is still reasonable, i have a friend who charged someone $400 bucks to do the cams and valve springs and told me i won't find anyone or anywhere to get it done cheaper.When i told him the shop will charge $200 he was confused lol.I guess he is not really use to working on evo's .

 

i got quoted $600 for cams, springs and titanium retainers.

 

Valve spring installs with vary because some shops like to take the head off to do them.

Cams should be about 150-200.

I personally charge 125 for cam installs on evo 8s but of course, I am not a shop.

 

I sent you a pm!

 

Why not DIY? RRE has a nice video on Youtube to to the cams. Probably one of the easiest cam swaps I've ever seen. Took me around 6 hours on my BMW

Part 2:

 

nice video but i prefer to have some professional do this for me just in case of any screw ups lol.

 

Damn. I paid $500. WTF.

 

what is a good cost for cams, valvel train, timing belt and tune? might as well do them all at the same time.. This will be my first mod.
