I took my car to be serviced. I want to know how long it takes to replace a gasket? My car was smoking (white smoke) and had bad smells. I took it to be repaired and they discovered that my oil gasket blew up and oil was everywhere. They told me they had to replace the gasket and replace the PCB (valve of some sort). They said it took 4 hours to replace the gasket. I just dont think that it takes 4 hours to replace a $50 part. Any insight?

Any insight?
