Sorry,
Wish I could help. We should start some sort of SVX relief fund, like the red cross, to help fellow SVXers in need. Especially in bad times of tranny woes, and the dreaded attack of the "Roaring Lions." (aka wheel bearings), etc. |

i agree that is a bad idea.
of course i was just kidding. it is a shame when someone does not have the money to keep their svx running, but unfortunately that is none of my business. our jobs as friends and fellow svx lovers is to try and save one another as much money as possible with how-tos and overall good advice. thanks anyway cola and grinch.....i mean mr. pockets.

Don't worry. I understand LarryIII has some connections to some nice folks who's job is to loan money to worthy enterprises. Go to Larry's briefcase & click on "Cousin Vinny".
Good luck, Ron.

Unless they're doing the rear crank seal, I don't see how there's 6+ hours of work there. Timing belt + front cam seals + front crank seal = 3 hours. What else are they doing? Hmmm... Tennessee... How far are you away from Beav? I'm sure he'll do it for $500 labour... No? VK |

I was not being serious when I posted that.
I can't believe it came up as a serious discussion, over there or anywhere. |

What's the difference?
You pay $80/hour dealer shop rate. USD. I pay $80/hour dealer shop rate. CDN. Of course, my trusty non-dealer mechanic charges me $60/hour. CDN. So there. VK Quote:

The difference?
1CDN does not equal 1USD more like .66USD. 80USD for service would be more like $120CDN |
