[sicamoose]

I know i know....trust me. It was/is my first sled ever. Guess only thing is bend over, pay the $$$$, and keep on riding. H2O will let me know next week full extent of damages

 

[maxwell]

Yeah I hope so!!!! Think I will hold on to it a while longer if putting a new motor in (was going to sell and get a 2009 or 2010 xp....)


You think $2200 for an 08' motor including labour is out of line?

 

[maxwell]

not at all. thats a good price for the motor alone

what kind of mileage on motor, if it's a brp short block you got a smoking price.

Just an update on my rev - picked it up today. As per attachment, was a tough blow on the credit card...... any comments? I am pretty sure was on point, with all labour, engine, etc etc etc HSt etc was $3610.00 out the door.

wow only 2.5 hours for all that swap. nice thats alot of work

 

[RTSOKO]

Wow...Did you get zero credit for your old engine????
I am in the same boat, but shopping for a better deal....

 

[bobsledder]

I see 6.5 hrs on that invoice. I thought you core credit was 700 bringing short block cost down to about 1800?
price seems to be a little high, but I am suprised that dick head even worked on it.

 

[maxwell]

i see 4.5 hours now?

 

[bobsledder]

i see 4.5 hours now?

i see 3 labour charges
engine siezed 2.5
exchange short block 2 hrs
reinstall engine 2.5 hrs
Guess that's 7hrs???

 

[maxwell]

oh wow i didnt even see that at the top.

 

[bobsledder]

oh wow i didnt even see that at the top.

Is 7hrs fair?? I don't know, never done it myself but I willhaul mine back to Alberta when it needs repair before I ever go to H20.

I thought you get 700 bucks for your core.

 

[boots]

yup you should have got a core rebate .... thats if the crank case is not cracked

looks like he didn't charge core charge, just the short block. price is right unless you add differently.

 

[maxwell]

ya because 1600 is too cheap for the shortblock.

6-7 hours is how long it actually takes to do the complete swap but what the book time is im actually not sure.

Yeah gotta agree. 6-7 hrs seems reasonable to get the motor in and out and swapped over, fired up and they took it for a test ride to make sure it actually runs! I have a chassis that's way easier to do it on than the Rev/XP and it takes me about 4 hrs just to swap motors and I've done it 15-20 times in the same chassis.

looking at the invoice i'd say he got a smokin deal. 7 hrs labour is cheap, usually 7-10 hrs. can't see any better deal from a shop.

must be a crappy motor or mechanic, to have to remove it that many times:d

time is very reasonable, took me almost an hr to get the y-pipe off. RnR time gets less with experience and proper tools.

in my experience you only get a core rebate if you are charged for one. you see a 700 core charge anywhere?

man you guys crack me up, can you not read the invoice.
