Alright so I had my cousin do this-
New water pump and power steering tank
Then he replaced the head gasket and grinded my valves for a whooping. Grand total of ------ 445.45
Sound right? That was with parts and labor.

 

He was nice to you. A shop would have been twice that at least.

 

x2! You got an awesome deal.

 

x2

Call the parts store. Ask what they'd charge you for just those parts.

 

Yeah... I wouldnt be complaining.
You should be kissing his feet.

 

Just a fuel pump replacement cost me $300... which was reasonable given the circumstances. So 445 for all that you had done is phenomenal.
$700 would have been a deal.

 

Be very nice to your cousin, he was to you. He saved you about $1000.

 

to true, a valve grind would cost you that much over here + parts.

sounds like a good friend never mind cousin

 

Hope u bought him some beer.

 

Ahaha he's a cool guy. He actually builds. Race car engines. He's not a drinker so no beer. I just gotta pay him 445. Picking it up todayyyy

 

Add something to show your appreciation....So he will be just as nice the next time
