catca,

Thanks for the post.

The PPI shop says that it would take an extra hour to do the head stud check. This was his overall quote (assuming that he would not stop early because he saw a major problem):
1.5 hour = $150 for basic stuff
1.0 hour = $100 for compression and leak down
1.0 hour = $100 for head stud check
total = 3.5 hours = $350

Does the time seem excessive for a 3.2 L engine? Maybe the difference between your estimate of 10 minutes and his estimate of 1.0 hr is the time to take off the upper valve covers too. Or can you see all the studs from the lower cover area?
