alldatadiy should have the shop times, i'd estimate it around 4 hours @$100 an hour (varies by region.. Ive heard california is up around $130 an hour) Its not too difficult of a task to do on your own, if you have some mechanical skill. Are you talking about the seal behind the harmonic balancer or the gasket around the timing cover? 4 hours would be the timing cover gasket, if its just the seal behind the balancer, maybe 45 minutes to an hour.

Harmonic balancer alone costed me $75 for parts (bought from Amazon) and had it installed for $105. Ford Explorer. Every car will be a different price. Another shop (not dealer) quoted $165 for installation (no parts).
