my mechanic has given me an estimate for his rebuild, but i need advice in which direction to take:
his estimate reads: rings, main bearings, rod bearings, cam bearings, rod bushings, can/followers, F&R seals, recon rods, hone cylinders, polish crank, magnaflux crank, for a price $-.-- but then he adds: replace the pistons and cylinders for an extra $675 am i missing something? do i pay extra for the replacement parts, or is reconditioning good enough? i should also note that this is his additional estimate for the complete motor. i received a separate estimate when i was only going to do the top end. i really don't pretend to know anything about mechanics, so i am relying on you guys for help. i'm not questioning his pricing methods, i'm just trying to figure out how to have my engine rebuilt right the first time. i don't want to cut corners. thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge6.gif) |

Evilbay is a source at reduced prices, but it is hard to be sure you have European cylinders. Many are going with Keith Black (http://kb-silvolite.com/index2.php) pistons. Check for skirt clearence and weigh the pistons. Also read tech section on dynamic vs static CR. IF you decide to increase displacement, say 2056, the European cylinders can be honned. Do you know if your presnet cylinders are bad and what maker?
