[QUOTE="ken yeang, post: 1064542632, member: 22642"] Hard to put a number for the labour. depends on the halfcut engine condition. and your luck. If everything good, labour is just plonking in engine. Somehow if the halfcut engine inherited problems, such as worn seals, missing wiring, electrics, worn bearing, coolant leaking, etc (that is hard to detect when buying it), the labour would cost more than usual. One can never know if the halfcut is a lemon or not until dropping it in to the engine bay. Even after the engine is in, some interval visit to workshop is needed to sort out some small issues. those would be hidden cost. JPJ checking, endorsement, runner etc oso need money. Just budget about 2k to 3k, to be safe for labour. I hope this isnt sounding like a discouragement. For me, changing another engine is the last resort. I would overhaul the ori engine whenever I can.
