... What's the labor if the motor was taken out?...I was told you could BUY a rebuilt series 60 for about 18-20K. Your price is not far from that and before I would spend that for a rebuild on a 8V, I think I would go the re-power route! JMHO
How do you in frame a motor when it is in a bus anyhow? Every shop I've talked to has said the motor has to come out to do the rear main seal or any sort of rebuild beyond new injectors. Did they do all the work through the hatch in the floor?
That shop was recommended to me by a bus tour and charter company in San Jose.
The only other bay area bus nut I know is Sean, and he is rarely here.
