Funny, I just started looking into replacing the pads but not sure yet on cost.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

PDX rennlisters, have any of you used these guys for engine work? What was your experience if so, and how was the pricing? Thanks, Anderson

POST 2Original post

Previous owner of my car took it to H&T.. Seems like they did good work and been around a very long time. Built up a solid rep! Also, they are PCA recommended. There are three shops I would use in the PDX area: H&T, Marque, Stuttgart. Pricing is all pretty similar, I got work done in March at Marque. Chose them because it was a 20 min drive from the house and my wife works right in that area making drop-off / pickup easy. Spoke within someone at each place and all seem very knowledgeable.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks @blazinz3 for the info. I suspect this as well as I am also a PCA Oregon region member. I am familiar with Matrix as well and received good info. on them too. It seems most of the shops that have been in business for quite some time will have a good rep, otherwise, they wouldn't be in business long. Thanks for the heads up as I prepare to have the Variocam pads replaced. Just want to do my "due diligence."

POST 4Original post

Oh yes, forgot about Matrix. Funny, I just started looking into replacing the pads but not sure yet on cost.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

@blazinz3 I got a quick quote back and it was more than I initially expected. I am working on getting a few more just so I can get a better idea of exactly what will be replaced as this will require an engine drop. My cam deviation is around 5 between bank one and two and it seems like a good idea to have it addressed before it becomes a bigger issue.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
