Post Your Rebuild Cost!!

[GSX'er587]

I've posted before on a topic similar to this, and searched but didnt really find exactly what i was looking for. I am planning on running an evoIII 16g and i know stock motors can handle that well enough. My question is what do you think it will cost to do a 6 bolt swap to handle an evoIII? Also, list your rebuild price and what was done if you're feeling like it Thanks

Stock motors will be able to handle an evo 16g no problem. I was quoted 400 for labor on a rebuild while the motor was out of the car (6 bolt). It was a pretty basic rebuild, nothing special really but I paid like 600 for machine work. Polish crank, fit .020 over weiscos in the block, balanced the rotating mass. I know it seems I overpaid it but it's local and they are supposed to be pretty good. Machining costs may/will vary. Around here, everything in expensive.

I am in the process of getting a 1990 Eclipse with 187,000 miles running strong. I just purchased the vehicle a few weeks ago from a local auto auction. I was not going to rebuild the engine because I was not planning anything fancy but there is an oil leak that I can’t spot and the cylinder walls have some vertical grooves that I can both see and feel. The compression is not as great as I would like it to be and is not even across cylinders either. I really just want to have a car that is in like new condition and reliable. Here is the list of what I am having done at the most reputable local machine shop.

Block bore 20 over & honed $100
clean/magnaflux $85
polish crank $38
balance rotating assembly $100
Shot peen/polish resize rods $125
Square deck? $50
Head 3 angle valve $134
Head decking $50
cost to assemble short block $175
TOTAL $857

AGAIN! this includes the work to assemble the short block. BUT this does not include the work for the rest of the engine which I am more than confident I can do.

my current rebuild:
rebuilt head-180
.20 wiseco piston-4 something
eagle rodes-310
stock unground crank-? (does anybody have one for sale?)
cometic head gasket-90
clevite bearings-30
water pump-?
oil pump?
ARP head stud kit-90
bore and hone-free
balance shaft elim-45

that's all I can think of for now...but hopefully it will be done soon so my 90 excel can dominate the street/track.

PREACH IT BROTHER!

Last time I added it all up, I'm driving over $6,000 worth of engine mods back and forth to work. Imagine if I didn't love my 2GNT so much and had put this into a TSi...
