Re: I think my mechanic burned me please advise

I'm still trying to figure out the $2600 for a cam change? A new crate engine is $1500 plus
8 hours labor to install it. With new belts, hoses, fluids, and misc you would still be in the $2500-$2600 range. As soon as they found the wiped cam lobes, they should have stopped and offered you the options of rebuilding or replacing the engine.
