MasterI takes about 7.4 hours for the 3.1 liter. I would find a better shop, it should not take 3 GUESSES to find this problem.

these are not GUESSES. if the car sat for that long period of time the gaskets dry out and all of them need to be replaced. so master mechanic don't say that the it,s a shops fault.
