Cam was damaged. 16 lifter/news plugs and wires/ new cam installed…$8100 Should be done in a few days. Greeeeeat. Guess I’ll start reading up on engine building and start planning for the next failure and I’ll build it so it WON’T break.
My god…. Honestly if I was in your shoes and if you have the time.. I’d ask them to put all the parts in a box and have it towed home.
I did it in an express van (similar engine). 1/3 of the work is from the engine bay, the other 2/3 from the floor of the cab. I imagine a truck bay has to be much less of a pain in the ass.
I just went back and looked at my receipt, I paid $1500 for parts to rebuild my heads, did some extra just because I was in there and replaced my alternator with a high output, replaced oil pump, timing chain, guides, water pump. That price included getting the heads machined at a shop. However, I didn’t use all Gm parts
You could probably do this job with GM parts for I’m guessing $2500?
If you’re ballsy enough to pick up and wrench and get your hands dirty then I think you can handle a straight forward job like this. I’d really think about it if you want to save a couple thousand.
