The on-field mechanic says, from a liability standpoint, he's going to
crack and retorque each and every nut on all four jugs. 8-10 hrs
labor. Another (off field) mechanic says, if the nut won't tighten,
we're into a whole different issue wherein the case will need to be
split, sent out and the threads repaired (helicoil?) inside the case.
Now, what is otherwise a simple job costs a couple grand for the labor
alone.

8 to 10 hours? Does this guy have only one eye and one hand. Ditch
this nit-wit, he's setting up to pay you off with your ow money.

1 - 2 hours to remove and reinstall cowl and baffling

1 - 2 hours to retorque all the nuts with coffee breaks
