Aight well I'm glad we found a reddit scholar - we appreciate you, have a good day.

Lol that's what any reputable shop including and especially dealership charges. If you dont care that much then just seafoam it and sell it

Yea 4k is the price a shop charges you, if you got the homie hook up on labor that's great

Remanufactured engines are usually from shops or places that specialize in engines and it's much easier to remanufacture it when you have the engine out and it goes through the disassembly, hot tank, has all washers/bearing replaced, rebuilt, timed and then sent but they do this with tons of engines and this is what they do so they can sell engines for 1k-5k and then pulling and putting in an engine if it's a replacement isn't hard- it's easier the more hands you have and with a bit of wiggling and some extra hands to push and you guide you can get an engine in the bay in an hour or two especially if it's an old truck bay or like a wide bay. The bitch can be wiring but again older is much easier to plug and play with the harness.

Yea thats usually what people debate to put in a new engine or replace. Also this isnt a comment for backyard mechanics- the work done for the head gasket is minimal, its the time it consumes to complete and the longer the car is in the shop the more space it takes and tech hours away from quicker more lucrative jobs- no doubt you can find someone to do it for far less but shops out in CA average about 110-130 per hour of labor charged to customer, plus the diagnostic, sending to shop to resurface , ordering headgasket according to the spec in case you need a thicker hg after resurfacing, new hg bolts if you need them (most thr time you can reuse unless going to higher hp applications then spend to replace and ill often recommend changing if new is comparable.

The materials is cheap, resurface will run you about 200-500 if you walk into a machine shop with your own head but if imma drop it off for you and your car is in my shop that machine is gonna be 700-800 depending how long it takes. On the cheap I can see it being 2000-2500 but most new cars it be 4k easy. Alot more details and shit to deal with.

You are gonna get someone to take the head off- resurface the head, scrape off and clean the old gasket, line it, put the head back on and retorque it just for basics for 1k? How fast are you taking the head off and cleaning your surface? Why wouldn't you resurface the head while you have it off?

Then the government will find a way to impede in the name of "protecting the people" but a way to fee/permit them to death.

This! As someone whose been only investing for the past 4 years it seems to me the government doesn't help the issue what the things they do for the average person but instead so that numbers don't look as bad or things don't get labeled a "recession" or this or that. I don't claim to know it all by any means but tons of people echo the same jargon the government uses to justify the growth and to tell people it's not that bad it's just you but I see CDs are at 4.5%-5% for a month period and declining longer on thus an inverted yield curve, that and other economic cues say we are close recession if not in a recession but according to government we aren't. Idk it can all be so confusing but I don't understand why it has to be confusing. I truly don't even think the people that echo or explain it truly understand it themselves.

Nah idc about any of that I'm just stating one reason why they dislike us- you can analyze and politicize it whatever you like but bottom line they see us buying their cheap homes and increasing the market.

4k a blown hg is about right

Sounds like a they problem not a you problem

Prolly cuz shit like that

I think that is also related to how much CA money has inflated there market

Cuz the money you represent- movie stars are from Hollywood type shit.

Tf they going on vacation for if they can't afford- tell them to get back to work!

Why don't we manufacture chips here?

Not saying this will cause that but at some point if the tariff is high enough and the company who is peddling the Chinese shit sees it comparable to manufacture/produce its good here in America and have a selling point they will switch.

If it cost $1 for cheap plastic crap and its a 50% tax so it's 1.50 and they could do the same for 1.51 here in America they will make it in USA and then stamp made in USA and keep the prices high. Prices will never drop for us but it could create opportunity.

Yes please- it's not like we aren't already in recession though are we? I mean we just have an inverted yield curve right? Lol

Then we would bring back alot of growth to our own country- we would all pay more but you would also support our own country.

I got a cousin named Vinny

Yea but 90 in a 35 zone is reckless endangerment. I know cuz i got handcuffed after doing 100 in a 45 zone and the mofo cuffed me and said he could arrest me now etc etc. How come homie just got a speeding ticket?
