Cost to adjust shims

I suspect the rod & main bearings need to be checked for clearance and have shims adjusted. What is a reasonable charge for this - including oil pan cleaning & new oil? About how many shop hours are usually involved?
Thanks.
 
My 2 cents
Buy a book and do the work your self. I think you will have better luck and you will learn something.
Have fun Bill
 
From Chiltons flat rate book--(1935)

Adjust mains and rods by shims or filing caps---5.0 hours --add for broken bolts, damaged threads etc.
When working "flat rate" only the inside of the pan would be cleaned.
 
I"m sure if you have a club, it would make a good seminar!!!!! Especially in Florida. Plus all you would have to do is probably watch and learn, club members are so willing to help. Good Luck!!
