i went to a local shop out here in Phoenix (they shall remain nameless) gave me a quote for the work i want done to my Ls block for FI. i just want you opinion about the stuff included. keeping the comp ratio around 9.5:1

~tear down/hot tank/clean block----------------------------$65
~sleeve/bore/honestep deck/ finish block to 83mm-------$880
~Arias pistions <83mm flat top>----------------------------$450
~Eagle rods----------------------------------------------------$350
~bearings------------------------------------------------------$180
~new GsR/type R oil pump-----------------------------------$125
~assemble short block----------------------------------------$275
~remove/install block-----------------------------------------$450
---------------------------------------------------------TOTAL=$3000

wadda ya think?

 

price looks reasonable for a competent shop

 

why are u paying them to pull and disassemble your motor?! Were you in special ed classes or are you not allowed to use a rachet?

 

looks good, but y are u payin them 275 to assemble the short block. If u have a helms and the right tools i'm sure u should be able to do it yourself.

Do you have any friends?

 

Hate to steal this thread but...

Anyone have advice on a B18C1 buildup I could do? Its for a turbo, but I want to make sure the engine is damn-boost proof before I get the turbo

Any suggestions on what kind of compression and internals I should use?

start your own thread, this guy has a competent question. ok back on topic, you could definitely take the engine out and at least disassemble it yourself. if youve never put an engine together before than i would definitely let them put it together. also what kinda sleeves are you getting for that price??

That price seems a little high. two of my friend just recently got built blocks form GE. They each paid $2800 and it included complete teardown and cleaning, sleeving, boring honing, eagle rods, srp pistons, rings, bearings, crank polishing, and a completely assembled bottom end sleeved to 85mm and shipped both ways. they look bad *** too! thumbs up to GE! I will definately be contacting them soon for my own motor!

 

you think i should try to get the price lower?
