I recently went to a local engine shop to get an idea of how much it would cost to have my spare 1.9L block and head redone. Being a "green horn" at engine rebuilding and reading all about the engineering marvels some of the members do here on the site, I figured I would ask the experts if this estimate seems resonable.
I was quoted the following prices:
Clean/Magnaflux block-$85
Hone cylinders- $60
Deck the block - $75
Align the block - $ 165
Grind crank (if required)-$140
Bore Cylinders (all 4 if required)- $110
Recondition the head - $184
Resurface (shave) the head -$58
Install guide liners (8)- $68
Recondition piston rods (4) -$68
Recondition pistons (4) -$52
Balance (In-line)- $300
TOTAL = $1365 Canadian (tax not incl)
At the end the block and head would be repainted and ready for reassembly, which I would perform, only with some professional help of course. Does this sound resonable? Is there something missing on the list that I should ask about? One last thing I was asked to confirm is that the Engine specs listed in the manuals are ACTUALLY the correct values? I guess the shop has had experience with specs they had listed differing from those provided by customers with shop manuals.
