I was looking at changing my cam out, but the mechanic told me 800 dollars (cam included). I was going with a letter cam. Does this sound right?

AdderMk2

dont get a letter cam, but yes, that sounds about right.

$200 cam
$70 per hour labor (by 8 hours)
$30 intake gaskets
coolant, silicone, oil

damn thats alot of money..

i think my cam swap cost me:
265 for cam
90 for springs
55 retainers
15 locks
30 valve seals
------
455 ish... ? those are just guess numbers without looking them up. no labor. so yea 800 sounds fair. good thing you arent in my zip code area. 115 per hour around here.

not bad... mine was $1136, not including pushrods, gaskets, or fluids



or labor
