That was 18 months ago, parts prices may have risen since then.

Yes John, that was when I was only charging $35.00 an hour.
And It took a LOT longer than the 14 hours that I promised.
There is no way that a qualified mechanic can do this job for $1000.00.
Hell, the gasket kit costs more than $250.00 now!
