What's the labor rate on that piston replacement?

The hourly rate depends on the shop, arguably you can negotiate the rate even with the dealer to around $100/ hour. The job calls for about 20 to 25 hours by the book, however it takes me about 8 hours to do it ( keep in mind ive done it about 10+ times). Also, you take off the oil pan and oil pump( no marks on pump chain, it doesn't matter how it goes back on) Set the piston of the missing cylinder to the top and with a 90° curved long pick, run it around the cylinderwall, if it catched any scratch or you see a wide rough scratch (half inch+) you would know that you need a new block or engine before you tear it down.

@@master-ei1nv that's crazy. I just finished checking a 2016 Malibu last night with a similar compression related issue and was surprised by the low compression. Initially thought it might have been a bad apple of the bunch but apparently not. Great vid and I appreciate you responding 👍

How did you disable the fuel system to to the compression test?

I don't remember if I did, but you don't have to disable the fuel system. If youd like, you can unplug the injectors, as long as the coils are disconnected the car will not start.
