Thank you for all the replies going to try and Answer them all here (forgive me if I’ve missed someone)
Firstly I brought the car from a dealer just over a week ago (got f&$ked by there marketing on extended warrantees). I’m not sure what oil is in it but looking in log book it hasn’t missed a service and it’s been done at Holden so I’m assuming it’s the right oil. Secondly car has done 215,000 not bad for 2006 model I think. I am taking it to the mechanics to find the ticking problem but his concern is ticking lifter to which he has told if it was it would be best to change all as well as camshaft. So now my problem I’m wanting to put a new bigger cam in when he does lifters but worried on price. Basicly all lifters replaced new performance cam. I’m assuming when he takes it down to the heads there will need to be new gaskets on the rebuild. Could anyone tell me if the prices below could be a rough price ?
camshaft package $1200
Lifters $250
Gaskets and Stuff $250-$300
Labour (guessing 4 hours at $70) $280
Does this sound about right or would there be other stuff involved. Never done anything like this before so any advice it appreciated.
