Way too high...you could about replace the whole engine for that price. Get a different quote from another shop. 19 hours?? Maybe with naps and beer runs and lunch breaks factored in.

Yes, that is way to high... Go to a different repair shop.. Should pay NO MORE than 2000.00 TOPS !!!!!

This is absolutely too high..I would report this repair shop to what State agency handles complaints and fraud charges from car repair shops in your state..for the price you were quoted you could by a new complete engine assembly and only have to add about $500.00 more to have it installed. Timing chain problems are costly but not that high...
