Labor time to replace intake runner boots?
I was wondering about how many hours you would expect a shop to charge to replace all 6 of the rubber boots that hold the airbox to the intake runners.
The engine is out and on the ground, I'm just looking for rough shop time to pull off the airbox and goodies in order to replace the 6 rubber boots and clamps, then put it all back together. Thanks,

Why would you pay a shop to do that?
As a point of reference I just removed and replaced an intake (in the car) in about 6 hours total. So four hours maybe?

with some cleanup time, it would take about 2 hours.

4-5 hours and the engine is already out is kind of excessive. probably includes nap time and lunch.

NICE!
The 4 to 5 hours was just an estimate, so we'll wait and see what the total time is and what items they have to replace. I feel like I've gotten my money's worth in the past.

I did mine in about 3 hrs. with the engine out. That included quite a bit of cleaning and detailing stuff...

They ended up charging me for a full 5 hours to replace the intake runner boots with new ones. The motor was already out of the car.

Their hourly rate is $85 and after several little issues I have decided not to use them any more. It's a shame too because I know and like the owners.

 In hindsight I sort of agree with Mr. Walker. Unless he was super-meticulous with cleaning/polishing stuff five is high.
