Is $80 cheap for labor only to install a new oil pan, do a valve adjustment and install new cam seals?

 

for $80 i'll pay someone to do that.

**does seem too cheap. the oil pan alone is almost that much.

it's just $80 for labor only..not parts

 

thats actually really good. Where I work charges 72.50/hour, and oil pan (I know cuz I've looked in the data sheet) is an hour alone, valve adjustment calls for another .75 hours, and cam seals I think are .5hrs. So yeah, its a good deal as long as you arent getting jacked on the parts.

 

thats pretty good

 

i think i overpayed for the parts.

oil pan / new oil pick up: 206 shipped
new cam seals: 18 shipped
new valve cover gasket, spark plug gasket: 10

i think you overpayed for oil pan and cam seal

 

were the parts brand new?

 

Yeh, I just paid 10.00 for new cam seals, but everything that I changed was a total of 340.00 (timing belt, water pump, cam seals, timing belt tensioner, spark plug gaskets, and head gasket) At least I think it was a head gasket, I didnt do the work, but parts it was just that. I guy I bought my car from did the labor...for free, it was in the deal. Other wise he said that 80.00 was what he would charge me for labor, It takes a lot (in my opinion) to change the basics.
