I now know anything you do on a motor seems to start at $10k. I have a single broken head stud on another 3.0 and the shop owner said expect to spend $10k. Needless to say I took it and I’m driving it. Back to the $9800 he did a lot of work and spent a lot of money so it seems that besides not expecting, and not being warned that the cost would be that high it was fair. Not the issue or complaint here. I wish it was
You misunderstood my comment. I want to know how the repair exceeds 15 hours.
