im hoping to drop my block off at the machine shop monday
and i was wondering if anybody might have an idea of what im gonna be paying
im having the block bored out .25 for oem os jdm itr pistons, and i want to have my crank checked out to see if its still any good( i spun a rod bearing)
and if its ok, i was gonna have it micro polished and balanced

i was hoping to get some numbers from people who have gotton these things done before

thanks for any info

eric

 

i got my block and head fully disassembled and re-assembled for 500 bux canadian dollars

my head needed some fixing. it was leaking, cleaned out the valve, install new valve trains, valve stems

got new rod bearings installed, bore/hone out .25 mm, re-size the rod for arp bolt

 

You did not discuss this with the shop before hand?

yeah seriously. how do you drop it off before you know what's he charging you?

what if he wants some insane amount of cash?

 

i was goin to call a few shops first before i just showed up and dropped of a block and crank

i was just thinking about it right now and was wondering how much im lookin at

the blocks goin to be fully disassembled when i drop it off at the shop, just a bare block and a crank

 

i'd say around 200-300? maybe 400 depends how expensively that shop charges

 

If it helps, here is what $500 got me:

Minor disassembly, Steam Cleaned everything, New Valve Guides, 81.5mm Bore & Hone, Crank Micro polish, balanced rotating assembly, file fitted rings, re-surfaced and lightened OEM Flywheel

It should cost you significantly less.
