Default Rocker Gasket Repair - How Much?
How much am I looking at to change the rear rocker box gasket on a 2008?

I don't want to change it, myself.

Thank you.

I did my rear rocker box in an hour or so if you have an offset wrench for the cover and a good wobble socket. About the same time to let the lifters bleed down. I would guess $150 plus parts would be fair. So double that lol.

1.0 hours book time, plus about $50 in parts (maybe $20 if they can source just the gaskets rather than a kit), for rear cylinder top and bottom gasket.
