Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JK 2016 3.6 Pentastar.
Diagnosed with rocker arm/lifter failure and two damaged camshafts. How much should I expect for this repair ?

Hi @RubenSfz, @ChrisW might have an idea.

My best guess (if all rocker arms are replaced) you will be between 7000 and 9000AED easily.

Yeah, if it’s both camshafts (and you take the opportunity to replace lifters, rockers etc) it’s a fairly extensive job. You’ll be looking at comfortably over 10-15k AED at least. 

You should also ensure the garage does a full clean out and flush so you can be confident there’s no debris hanging around in the oil channels etc.

If that's the case , wouldn't be a better option to replace for any newer used engine?

It’s certainly worth looking at - I would suggest asking your garage for a quote for repair vs installing a re-conditioned engine.
