hell i can remember ages ago phoning a tuner whos on here to fit a head gasket and they quoted me 200 quid for the head gasket and 200 for timing re cam
even thoug i supply the parts , he said its not the same as just fitting a head gasket and takes about 4 hours
this was a engine not a car btw
Timing in a set of cams properly can easily take half a day or more on the dyno / rollers
Although again, this is where an experienced tuner will be in the right ballpark just from previous knowledge so will be quicker.
