parts may be 70 dollars and fix 50 dollars...total 120 to 130..that's it
do it yourself. parts are cheap, labor is long and hard. that's why its expensive
I was quoted $2200 to replace the timing belt for the amount of work and labor involved.
How much does it cost for labor to change a timing chain in a 2001 Alltima ?
Timing Chain. Internal. $600 labor to open the engine plus parts kit at around $350.
That engine doe's not have a timing BELT. It has a timing chain and gears. The chain and gears are about $60.00 the gasket is about $12.00 and the Labor would run about $150.00.
If your vehicle is at least 60,000 miles it is recommended you replace the timing chain. If your timing chain broke, your engine would NOT run because the timing chain is what rotates your engines camshafts to open and close the valves. Also, you would have some serious engine damage if you were driving and your engine suddenly just quit and it happened to be your timing chain. There really is no way to "check" a timing chain as it's hidden behind the belt area of the engine (if I'm not mistaken). If you're going to go through the labor of "checking" a timing chain, you might as well replace it, as the average timing chain job costs about $220, $200 of that being the labor.
bout 1350 with parts
it pays 8 hours labor. so depending on the shops labor rate should be a little under $800.00. call ford on timing chain and all gears and a gasket set
It's takes me about three hours labor.
about 20-30$ at autozone, but labor at a shop will prob be like 400$, its crazy
My mechanic charged me around $200 to $300 just for labor. My total bill was around $400.00 +
I recently replaced the timing chain on my 1994 Toyota pick-up. That cost me ~$800 parts/labor.
