What should the normal labor$/hours be for this job...just the labor, I have the parts...complete timing kit install plus water pump Gsc s2 cams, gsc beehive springs, retainers, chromoly seats, head gasket and head studs. I own an evo 9 gsr in the tristate area..thanks

 

not sure how far away STM is from your area but should hit them up. they will take care of you. sorry if its not the answer you were looking for

 

I used different brand of parts but for Gsc s2 cams, gsc beehive springs, retainers around $650
complete timing kit install with out water pump $330
Thats about what i paid for labor on getting these replaced except for the belts thats the price of the belts and labor but I'm in CA.

 

Give us a call on Monday and we will help you out!

 

I got a quote from a local evo shop...$350 for the timing kit/water pump install and $600 for the cams, springs/retainers, head gasket and head stud install...install on all parts are being done at the same time.does this sound right? A couple of friends say that this is too much.

 

That sounds about right. When you take into account the amount of time needed to do the work and the amount that needs to be charged for the shop to stay in business the numbers are not outrageous.

 

That sounds like a steal to me. I would go with it unless you get a better estimate from another shop.

 

This. A head gasket job alone will normally run you $500 in labor.

 

my final price was quoted at $700 labor for complete timing kit/water pump/updated mitsu bracket and s2 cams, springs,retainers and head studs...how does that sound..i think its pretty good

 

Sounds good to me. Don't forget the tune.

 

Add a tune on top of that. That seems like a good quote. Where are you in NY? I suggest going to an evo specific performance shop, even for routine work. Car specific shops will be more efficient and be able to identify and address any issues appropriately.

P.S. I recommend STM anyday

 

Thats a great price. Mine was 400 for timing belt/water pump job.

 

That seems a little too good , do they do much turbo cars?

 

yeah its a very reputable shop...its actually one of my boys shop...and its a hook up and all they do is evos and subbys...i had my exedy twin installed there in 4.5 hrs..i would name the shop but i dont think they want me to list the prices they gave me

 

mind sending me a pm of this shop? thanks
