Full Coolant Pipe Repair Cost & While You're In There?
 

A few related questions... I've done some searching and didn't find a clear answer on this yet.

- What is the typical repair cost range for the Coolant pipe separation issue? I realize there are some considerations here that will impact cost (ie. pin vs. full weld, replace all fittings with aftermarket).

- Are people JB Welding the more easily accessible fittings as a preventive stop gap until there is a reason for more extensive maintenance work (ie. clutch)? Obviously, there are never guarantees, but do we have a sense of how the JB Weld option addresses the issue considering only a few of the pipes can be reached with the engine in.

- What other "while you are there" repairs would you likely do if you pulled the engine for this job? I'm not really talking about power adding upgrades. Rather, are there other common failures that would be more cost effective to fix with the engine out. The GT2 slave mod falls into this category, right? Anything else? Roughly, how much am I likely to save in labor doing it all in one shot?

thanks!
