My Timing cover needs a new gasket. How much do you think a shop would charge me to put a new gasket in? I work too many hours to do it myself thanks.

 

it only takes a few hours to change it. Drain the coolant, pull the fan for more room, pull the crank pulley and hub, water pump is 5 bolts, timing cover is like 9. Cake job just kinda time consuming.

Shop is gonna cost a couple hundred I would guess.

Be sure to loosen all the bolts on the oil pan to drop it a little bit. You can re use the seal if you don't damage it.

 

Ok thanks...hey you on mifbody.com?? See your from michigan

 

nope, just on f-body.com and this board. Check the MI board here on cz28, there's a guy named IrocSS85. He'll do it for ya outta his garage. He's a little drive from here but the money you save in taking it somewhere is worth it. I've never had him do any work, but he's really knowledgeable, a GM tech, etc... Tons of people have him do work.

I would recommend doing it yourself. Take a few hours on a day you have spare time. The felpro kit is 8 bucks and comes with everything you need.

 

where do you get the felpro kit?

 

advance auto, murrays, autozone, etc... Comes with timing cover gasket, 3 timing cover seals you need, optispark seals, and both water pump gaskets. $7.98

 

Ok thanks
