___________________________ FIX: ___________________________

Thanks for all of the responses.The consensus on the labor
time was anywhere between seven to nine hours.This job went
fairly easy so I charged out 7.5.The cylinder head was in
great shape but the face of the block was slightly pitted.I
used factory gaskets and head sealer and notified the
customer of the pitting.He declined to go any further as he
is trading it in.Piece of cake I can't wait to do another.

hello, I have this 4 wheel drive VW with a leaking
passenger side head gasket. It was replaced 30,000 miles
ago at another shop.ALLDATA does not give any labor times
on doing this. I am only going to repair the one head as
the customer is a little strapped for cash right now.I do
have a very good R&R procedure on this so I am fine
there.If anyone could help me out on the labor times on
this I would very much appreciate it.Also if there are any
hints or tricks to job they would be a help also.

thanks in advance
