Message	I just got my z back from my mechanic's place for engine swap. I'm shocked by the bill of $2000. My mechanic charged me 7 hours of labor at $75/hour for swapping injectors from one engine to another. Is it real that difficult to swap injectors from one engine to another after both engine are pulled from the car ?? I think that's execcessive. I like to hear your opinion on this.
