[Wr3sTl3b0y]

i got a big leak on the left side of my motor i got the gt thunder studs just wondering aprox. how much it costs for a shop to install them i figured around 100 bux but would appreciate the input tight on money at the moment and havn't had it running since april

sounds about right. it shouldnt take them 2 hours to put them in no matter what. I would say most charge around 70 an hour for special machining ops so 1.5 hours @70 is 105. should get you close, then anything less is a bonus :D steve

i payed around 85 for mine to be put in at a local machine shop.

I used to do some machine work and this is really 30-60 minute deal with proper tooling and that's including setup.

dumb question, but if the stock bolts stripped the cylinder threads its still safe to have these put in, right?
