machine work
Well i went to a machine shop that my instructor recommended, said they do awesome work. They do a lot of hondas too which is also nice. Here's the prices he quoted me, wanted to see what you guys think. He said this is absolute maximum pricing depending on what needs to be done...
Block wash, bore + hone, cut deck (if needed) = $240
crank inspect + polish = #35
valve job, mill, and assemble with supplied parts= $220
balance (if requested) = $275
I plan on using SRP pistons and maybe eagle rods (or tuner toys rods), so i don't think i need the balancing, thought that stuff was mostly for domestics.
As for the valve train i'm going to get ITR valves and springs for the intake, and then swap my intake springs to the exhaust side, heard it makes for a nice combination. I'm keeping the stock cams beacuse the gen 2 are pretty aggressive and i don't feel like getting type r cams.
thoughts?
EDIT< i think this is in the wrong place, sorry. Hybrid forum maybe?

Re: machine work
heres what ive got for $160
micropolish crank
deck block and head
allign hone
put the motor together yourself and save some money. Most good pistons and rods are machined within a gram of eachother. No real need for balancing unless its an all out racing engine.

Re: machine work
Not sure on 'good' prices. But for comparison I had my B18A1 Decked, Honed, and Hot tanked for $85 out the door. The decking/honing was so good I actually cut myself on the cylinder wall when trying to hold it steady while driving(if you consider that 'good').

Re: machine work
when you put dieeferent weight pistons and rods on a motor you need to balance it, not match the pistons/rods to each other, its to balance the counter weights to the weights of the pistons/rods by removeing material or adding mallory metal
