I agree with the others.

I think $800 sounds like an ok price.

The job is not bad to do yourself, esp if your car is not a turbo. Figure one day to take apart, a few days for machinist to check it out, and one day to put back together. Try to borrow or rent a car or make other arrangements for a few days. But if you really are crunched for time, then it sounds like you don't have many options.

Maybe the dealer will give you a loaner car while they fix yours. I'm actually kind of surprised that the dealer price is that low. I guess they know what they are doing and can do it quickly.
