just curous on what u guys paid for shops to put in ur rods and pistons. like eagle rods and srp pistons.

 

My brother recently had to have his B18B rebuilt by the dealership because of seized piston rings and major blow-by. The dealership charged him 1,750.00 to put in new pistons and rods, as well as boring out the cylinders and cleaning any dirty parts. This seemed like one hell of a deal to me.

 

parts and labor?

 

Seem pretty damn cheap... especially coming from a dealership

 

yeah really. but hey maybe he knew some one.

 

Spend the extra cash for the JE's. You get what you pay for with the SRP's. Do it yourself mang.

 

my machinse shop work from labor only was about 700...this included boring the walls .25 over and honing, putting the new rods o the new pistons,micropolish the crank and balance and assemble everything, but remember the 700 dollars didnt include parts

 

pistons JE..$500...$300 for crower rods, replace rod bearings, also..might want to have the crank rebalanced...and replace the bearings, and get new rings...$200

you have to get the machine shop to bore the block so the pistons will fit in..have the shop forge the rods and pistons together...$100 for boring...to install about another $300-$400

 

You dont want the $300 crower rods--those are crap. You will want the better forged ones.

 

3000 for all rebuilt... 11.5:1, 84mm sleeved.

 

well i have wiseco pistons 8.5:1 and eagle rods. now i just need the labor.

 

Just do it yourself. It only took me 16 hours with goofing around.

 

that'll get the job done..

 

i had my block disasemmbled and reassembled for 350$.

Are these prices when you take your entire car to the shop, and they pull/machine the block, replace all bearings, gaskets, etc, install the new pistons/rods, and reassemble? A local machine shop quoted $100 labor to bore out the block to fit larger pistons, but $1500 for the entire job. The $350 you said for disassemmbly and reassembly of your block, did you already pull your engine out of your car? Or did they do everything for you?

 

Its ~800(more or less, depending on the shop) around Seattle to pull your engine and take it to a machine shop for work and then to install it back in your ride, and you pay the machine shop seperately...

 

pull your own engine, its so damn easy.

Her eis waht i did.

Took out engine, took off head / block.

handed them head, handed them block. Had htem bore over 25. Had them vat hte block. had them disassemble / reassemble... then give it back.

It was like 400$ total on the block, including bore / hone / dis/re assembly.

 

i had a top end re-build didnt touch bottom end.
$120 for port/polish and valves re-ground
$240 for head set (seals/gaskets etc)
$180 for piston ring set
$80 for timing belt
$520 for labour
All OEM honda parts

 

How's your *** feel after that?

 

Sounds good to me...!

 

SRP's are made by JE!

 

Yeah but they aren't JE quality
