Hairy,

I looked back at my receipt and it wasn't nearly as bad as I'd thought. The
$700 included many other things including a compression check ($90)
replacement of both front brake rotors ($70) and replacement of many vaccum
hoses, not to mention the cost of all the parts.

The actual labor charged for the valve cover replacement was $240.

Now the proposed $375 for the manifold gasket replacement seems to fall
right in line where it should.
