Neal Bates seems very expensive. I just gave them a call about replacing the head gasket on my 4A-C and was given an estimate of between $800 - $1000. In fairness it is essentially reconditioning the head, but WHOA! it's only a C. That's more than a third of the cost of a supplied and fitted GE.

The other thing I asked was how much to remove the existing C, and replace it with another (fitting only). He said it would take 12 hours to do. I'm no grease monkey, but seems like a hell of a long time to remove a few bolts, hoist the motor, and drop the new one in. Even if a full tune and service is included in that, it seems like an extraordinary amount of time.
