I had an N54 bare block brought in and leakdown tested by a shop, they said the head leaked, so I brought in another Head known to by good to swap on. They put the new head on, re-leakdown tested, as well did the oil pan gasket, and valve cover gasket.

I took took it to a machinist myself to deck it.

Anyone know how many shop hours you would expect billed for this work?

Thanks

the book time says 30-40 hours.

how much did it cost to deck the block and head? and what province are you in.
(i had shop from AB msg me for my cyl. head few months ago)

I assume that qoute is including removing the engine.

I removed the engine and brought just the bare block/head in, as I am not comfortable setting the timing myself.

Im in Mb, deck cost was like $80 at piston ring machine shop iirc? I only had the Head done.

yes that quote is with engine removal + re-install (aprox. 20-25hrs shoptime).

if your replacement head already had valves+cams already installed too, deduct another 3-5 hrs.
