How Many Hrs To Change An Engine?


Matts 850 GLT

Hello

How many hours wil a shop charge to swap out my motor (2.5 10v no turbo, auto tranny)?

Does the transmission have to come out as well or can I just pull the motor and drop in another one?

Thanks

Matt

I just got charged for 14 hours plus parts. They replaced all the seals timing belt, tune up and hoses. My engine was dismantled so it took them longer than usual. Count on at least $1000-1200.00 at least around my parts.

Figure two days 12-14hrs to do it yourself.

And I think its easier to take it out the top, some think out the bottom.

If you have a lift and engine lift then out the bottom ,

if all you have is car jacks and a engine lift then out the top

Someone has a bottom obsession today :lol: :lol:

Last sentence probably should read out the top.

I've never heard of someone doing RMS twice.

Thanks for all the posts, I will probably go ahead and have the tranny pulled to replaces the rms and risk it rather than dropping in a replacement motor with unknown history.

How likely is the rms to fail once replaced - anyone got any experience?

Thanks

My total install bill plus parts (not including engine which was $750 with 110k) was $1900.00 but I have a friend who just put one in for $1200.00
