Exhaust manifold gasket replacement & valve adjustment quotes

[Rich_NYS]

I might buy a car that needs an exhaust manifold gasket replacement & valve adjustment. I'll likely not have the time to do it myself, so I'll hire out the work. It has been a long time since I paid someone for mechanical work, and have never worked on a DeLorean myself. I'm interested to know the amount of time to expect for the two jobs mentioned (also how much to figure for broken studs.)

Thanks,

Rich

I just realized you're in Ohio, too far for me to bring a car in but when I'm ready for parts I'll let you know. :thumbup:

usually exhaust manifold studs will break...and I think you're looking at $100 each to have them pulled and replaced. I think I had about $600-800 for gaskets, labor and broken studs.
I tried a valve adjustment myself with a nice write up from DMCMW...didn't work out so well for me. In fact, I think I made it worse. Ended up paying to have it done. It wasn't that expensive, but was one of those things I had done when the car was in for other work.
