How do you figure this? If the flat rate to r&r a Spitfire cylinder head is
4 hours, and a fair shop rate is set at, let's say $75.00/hr, the labor
portion of the teardown bond is $300.00. Why would it be different because
your
engine builder charges more? Typical San Francisco hourly rate is
$125-150/hour,
but I don't expect to get that to take my car apart in Topeka...
