I am curious. Not that I need it yet but what is the ballpark cost for a 2.0 rebuild (done by a shop). I know there are many variables involved and options to consider but just a ballpark with a decent core to start with. I am thinking about 3k... What do you say? Thanks - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

QUOTE(anthony @ Mar 14 2004, 09:46 AM) ...Do pistons wear out or can you get away with new cylinders and rings?... let me elaborate on Daves answer just a little... pistons are aluminum, rings are steel. eventually the ring lands in the piston grow through wear and working. sometimes the skirts wear more than you'd like - but usually, unacceptable wear is in the ring lands. if you have really, really rare pistons (2,8RS for instance) you can have the ring lands cleaned, trued, and opened up to a size for which slightly thicker rings are available. but there is a spec for maximum ring clearance. you install a ring and use a feeler gauge to see how much clearance there is between the edge of the ring and the top of the groove in the piston. if it's too big, the rings will flutter, bend, and break. |
