[QUOTE="2WheelTiger, post: 546152, member: 6178"] Looking at the exploded diagram, it's not a "split motor" issue and it's not as bad as some, but it's still WAY more than 2 hours. Take your $900, back the parts price out of it, then divide the remainder by their hourly shop rate. Figure out how long they're estimating the job will take. It may be completely reasonable. Here are the basic steps for the job off the top of my head: Tank off Tupperware off Valve cover off Cams out. Crank end covers off including gasket clean-up. Drop old camchain down tunnel Replace guides Replace cam chain tensioner Drop new camchain down tunnel and retain top end for relo. Replace cams Ensure proper cam timing Test Replace crank end covers and gaskets. Might as well check valve clearances while you're there. Replace valve cover Replace tank Replace tupperware. And you were SO close to being able to redo the valves and seats on your (then) 98k mile motor. Did they recommend the extra step(s)? [/QUOTE]
