? about valve gaskets
I am going to have both valve cover gaskets replaced and my mechanic is saying parts are going to run around $525, that is for gaskets and spark plugs. Because i have not had it done before i don't know if that is high or about right. If it seems a little high can anyone suggest somewhere to get parts cheaper.
As for my previous rev up prob, it was a combo for PVC valve and my overdrive sensor was malfuntioning. All better now. that to eveyone on your inut : It was cold in Phoenix today about 80 |

Parts should be about $50 for the valve cover gaskets, and about $65 for the spark plugs.
Definitely not $525, unless he was quoting the labor too. Call Liberty Subaru at 201-261-0900 and tell them you're an internet customer to get better rates.

check out www.subaruparts.com
http://www.subaruparts.com/diag/?mod...category=020-A all 6 gaskets = $56 8 rubberseals = $16 6 spark plugs= $57 (6 x $9.53) $525 for labor would be about right, but not parts.

Man I'm going to have to start my own business doing just spark plugs and valve cover gaskets! I could make a killing even if I only charged half that labor rate.

Thanks now i know they are crazy,525 was parts, now i have seen other site for parts, would it be smarter to get an entire gasket set, Oh yeh front seal will need to be done also, Labor on that is $900, entire sets are around $266 one from part.com and one on subaruparts.com

I had the valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, timing and acc. belts, and front seals replaced all for ~$1050 at the not-so-local Subaru dealer. If that's any help
