I got a quote today from a local performance shop to FIT valve springs to my baxr6t that I have already purchased..

He said if I get the head removed he will fit them to the head for 600 dollars.

600 DOLLARS! Is this normal? That is double what I paid for Nizpro Valve springs!

Can someone please point me in the right direction or recommend a workshop in Melbourne to fit the springs, and some sort of price figure.

Thanks heaps.

Call AVO. They will from memory fit, drive in drive out for 450.

remove the head sht run as far as you can from this guy call nizpro asap might cost a bit more than $600 but finding someone to remove the head and all the other sht will cost you a furtune

Can be done without pulling the head off. Geez they are behind the times....

However, I got a quote from a local performance shop that tune XR's....

They quoted $1200.... yes $1200 just to fit the supplied springs. that's $1200 just in labour to fit springs that I would supply.....

Nizpro charge I think $500, AVO $450 and HP-F quoted me $625. These prices are if you already have the Springs, as in your case.... Anymore is BS

Exactly my thoughts, my quote would work out to be more then $200 per hour.... Fark I work on million dollar aircraft and our workshop labour rate isnt even that high!

Jesus christ, I never knew that they were so hard to fit!!! Labour more than the parts, that is unreal. I actually bought them online so I haven't been to nizpro, but I'll get them to fit them I spose. The bloke I spoke to wanted the head off because he said he did one and dropped a collet into the sump or some crap story...

I see atomic sell a valve spring removal tool that compresses all 4 springs in one hit. Should knock some time off the job?

I think I saw c&v (not melbourn) had a deal 950 supplied and fitted with a retune.

Damn that's a good price. We need a good workshop like C&V In Melb!
