RavenII Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 My baby is leaking oil from the timing cover...and I would like to get it repaired...one guy told me it'll cost 5 to 7......THOUSAND dollars. After laughing, I told him I'd rather buy an engine lift and used motor, and spend the other 3-5 grand on Hookers and Blow (kidding, I don't do blow)... Anyone know of a reasonable shop to take it to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewago Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Replacing the seals on the front of the motor isn't too hard of a job. As long as you can lock the cam gears in place, and are careful not to strip the bolts while breaking them loose. If the motor is fine, it's way cheaper than doing a full replacement! I know that doesn't answer the shop question, but it's an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
