Book hours for timing chain
What would be considered fair billing hours for replacing a timing chain and gears? This would be for an 1977 F350 camper special with a 400.

First time doing it? 6 hours.

Flat rate guide? Probably 4 hours..

World's record? 20 min.*


All times are estimates, flat rate based on 90 second interweb search for "flat rate book for timing chain", world's record is WAG.

I think 4 hours is fair...less if you've done it before.
