Degree labor costs
 
What is a reasonable price to pay for having intake cams degree'd if I already have the valve covers removed and tow the car to them? I just had knee surgery last month and I don't think I am up to doing the job right now myself. I might just wait a couple months until I am healed though and do it myself. Depends on how much it costs.

For all four cams are just the two intake cams? I'm not paying $800 for something I can do myself in a couple months. The reason for asking is that I was planning on swapping out my intake cams for '96 cobra cams here soon.

Supposedly you don't have to remove the timing cover and all the accessories if you are just degree'ing the intake cams. So probably around $400 for just the intake cams. Guess I will have to talk to a couple of the local shops and see.

thats a good idea....some people have said you cant easily degree the cams with the motor even in the car....so i know its no easy job

I've heard it's a complete nightmare from several people so I'm not looking forward to it either way. It's easy enough on the 2v's though. Just takes time.

It should take no more than 3 hours if the VCs are already removed.
