if i brought my own sleeves and pistons to a mechanic to install them for me, on the usual, how much is that labor work going to be?

 

fist off a mechanic cannot install them. or i should say cannot install the properly. you have to find a reputable machine shop that is willing to install them. avg price is 500-600 finished with you providing the sleeves.

 

Make sure u take the block to someone who knows about sleeving honda blocks. Its not easy as seems. around $500 should do the trick.
