Alright guys, Just as I had enough money to start ordering some mods the timing chain has started to play up, just being really noisy and a really loud rattle etc. Anyone know some good mechanics in Brisbane that are preferably on the cheaper side, let me know Cheers! Conor |

Timing chain and 'cheaper side' don't really go hand in hand. It's a fairly involved job and unless you can swing the spanners yourself it's going to cost you a bit in labour. |

I got quoted $2500 to have it all done? That's the whole timing chain kit and the blokes allowed for 11 hours of labor |

Yep. Usually workshops quote 12 hours +. You can pick up all parts to do it for about 6-700. Youll need timing chain kit then gaskets and seals for rocker covers , harmonic balancer seal and a few other gaskets. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk |

Also a good idea to do water pump while the job is being done Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk |

Starting to think it would be cheaper to just get a whole new engine and put it in hahaha |

Most H-series engine will need a chain replacement somewhere after 200,000km anyway, so if you get a new engine make sure it's either lower KM or very well looked after... or both. |
