Maybe. I did ask and they haven't had a single car come back (yet) and one of their guys has a pretty good rep for doing good engine work. They're going to do a few extra things for me while the motor is out that would otherwise cost a pretty fair bit and it gives us an extra 12k mile warranty. My car is at 114k now so it needs a bunch of things done that I kind of can't afford right now and this gives me the opportunity to get it all done for pretty cheap. As long as their guy doesn't fk up it will be worth it.

Yeah the service supervisor told me that they're getting those done in about 4 hours, sometimes less. That's why they schedule 3 cars a day for 2 techs. Apparently it's just pull the motor, pull the valve covers, change the springs, reassemble and put it all back in the car.

No removing the cams = no removing the timing chain = no removing the front cover.
The FB engine pays 7.3 hours vs FA 12.5 hours. It's significantly less work.

Like I said above, 4 hours or less is what they told me for FB cars.
