just curious what you guys that dont build you own motors are paying

I got a quote toda including BORING and polishing crank and al machine work assembling engine

$500-600


what ya think

 

i paid 425 for full assembly of my short block in my built d series.

i am having the same guy do my b16a lower end

 

Did my D16 myself, top to bottom, took me a good bit of time cause I was learning the whole way

Paid $70 for my crank to be balanced and polished, notched the block myself

Does that $500 included bearings and gaskets and everything? Thats pretty good if it does

Check references though, a lot of shady ******* in this industry

 

Old school machinist dont usually screw people over. Fair price

 

no it didnt include the bearings

here is his site dude has got some stuff goin on

www.bremotorsports.com

 

do it yourself dude., youll save yourself money and gain a great skill

 

I would do ti btu I dont have the tools or clean palce and after spendin $$$ on all these parts i want it done right

 

Buildin short blocks its easy nor hard. if not confident let some skilled hands do the work worth it in the long run for a small cost

 

im going to build my own engine, including the head. i have the tools etc. i think it will be more fun then anything. from what i gathered, u basically just need to take ur time and make sure ur clearnaces are all good and use the proper lubricants, oils, etc while assembling. but, im not doing the honing/boring/decking of my own block
