I know this might be under the CRV thread, but would you guys think it's worth sending a B20 to a machined shop? I spun a rod bearing on mine, and been told it's cheaper to just buy one, than to get it all machined.

I plan on re-sealing the whole motor, new pistons, gaskets, bearings, etc.

So isl the JDM b20 block worth the money for a machine shop?

well they do go for about $600 plus shipping. so you do the math.

Not sure how much an average machine shop will do my block....

I think he meant it's cheaper to buy another motor, than getting it rebuilt.
Labor would kick me in the ***.

just to give you an idea of what your lookin at i had my z6 completely rebuilt for $865 (new pistons rings resize the rods polish the crank ect) might be better off buyin another motor if you can get one for 600

Damn, I rebuilt my D16 for about $200 on parts. No machine work thou. That was minus pistons, and water pump too.

But I'm going all out on this one. Not cheap, but in no hurry. So I'm just looking for decent deals online.

jimmy o.

yeah i definately went all out cause this motor is gettin turboed cant afford to be cheap i replaced everything on it

I hear ya man. Thats how this one is gonna be. Not too worried since I know it will be worth it.
