Labor cost to replace cam Options

[RFoulds]

I have an awesome 2056 motor. Problem is, its too racy. It doesnt really come on cam until 4000 rpm, then it pulls like a horse to 6500rpm. hi compression, either 10.5:1 or 11:1, depending on whose notes on the build sheet I believe.

Sine I am done racing this car fulltime, and motor only has 30 hours on it since a refresh, I am hopeful that replacing the cam and lowering compression will be enough to make this streetable. of course, there will be more tuning involved than this, but, basically, those will be my first two steps.

I have chosen a Webcam 86a, with new drilled lifters. I can pretty much estimate all the costs associated with this except, splitting the case and replacing cam.

What do you think a good builder, like Jorge at European Motorworks, would charge for that part of the process?

If you are not replacing the crank or bearings, just the cam, its not THAT much work.
Mostly just splitting the case and cleaning everything before resealing. The only tricky part would be replacing to dowel pin in main bearing 1. Could be done in a day, or a weekend if you are REALLY being careful.

Seriously, if you can do the top end, you can take apart and put back together the bottom end. Keep it clean and you have most of the battle won.
