I think the typical labor charge is 20 hours. And of course that assumes you have the right tools and experience. Take a look at this link that details the rebuild of an E34 M5 engine. Scares the crap out of me. It's one thing if you could just get a replacement engine for $1000 if you screwed it up... the consequences of %#$@ing it up are too great IMHO. I would leave it to an expert.


It doesn't need it, but it would be nice to know when it does.
