It's a 216, and the time to R & R the rear seal was my guess. Apparently I thought it was a much less complicated repair. I'll ask the mechanic directly how many HOURS it will take him to replace the seal. Anybody know how many hours were approved in the old rate manuals for this repair??

Thanks Jerry and Deve for the information.
