Valve cover gaskets and oil filter housing gasket - what should I expect to pay ?
Title explains itself. Both my valve cover gaskets and oil filter housing gaskets are sweating. Looking to have them both done as preventative before the leaks get serious - wondering what I should expect to pay all in/what you guys paid at your indies? I know labour costs depend largely on location however just want to get a general idea. Thanks in advance.

I charged a customer $600 in labor this past weekend. $400 for the valve covers. In the future i'll be charging $400 for the oil filter housing.

Anyone get their valve covered powder coated?
Just wondering how much that runs?

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

I was quoted $1400 for VCG. I felt that was a little high especially after looking at DIYs. I did VCG on my old 335i and wasn't that bad.
About powder coating the covers, I talked to a specialist that told me powder coating is BS on magnesium, only for looks. He said get the covers glass blasted and paint them with grill paint and the channel where gasket goes.
