Hi there, So...I was googling to find more info about my problem, mostly I am wondering what a fair price would be for the repairs my mechanic says I need. I cam across a past posting of yours..
"Valve cover gaskets are quick and easy to replace. Cam seals involve tearing much of the front of the engine off, so you should plan them as
part of a more comprehensive "service" session: timing belts, cam seals, front crankshaft seal, and oil pump seals (front seal, rear O-rings) should all be included here, since the labor to do one pretty much covers the labor to do any. Many will suggest replacing the water pump at this time, too, again because of the labor vs potential benefit cost."
This is the problem I am having with my Subaru. My mechanic says I should do the whole thing and that it will cost about $550. Does that price sound right to you? Thanks in advance for your time. Anissa Malady
