i thought it was a bit of a bargain almost worth being lazy and getting them to do it

yer i agree most garage would charge you much more than that for labour years ago over here on the isle of man i asked about getting a head gasket done on a gtt.
was quoted over 500£ and that was with out the gasket parts and the skimming so this looks cheap i mean they even change ur engine oil for you :)

Or spend a weekend and £60 and learn something, with a Haynes manual of course!

Honestly i think thats quite pricey myself, i charge people alot less than that but in fairness i don't have overheads to consider at the moment like they do.

Are they not just BB tuning started up under another name and premises?

They have taken on some BB tuning staff but its not just them working for that company. You could say its torsion tuning as well but under a different name. They have all merged together really.

I think that it's a fair price. How many of you DIYers change all the gaskets they state?

I bet nobody changes the water pump dividing gasket (when you split the pump in half)? Most won't have the facility to skim the head or sleeve the oil gallery themselves?
