^ Not to thread jack, but how much did you end up spending on machine work?
If you don't mind, what all did you have done? Curious to see typical labor rates for machining. Thats one thing I have no experience with. |

If you don't mind, what all did you have done? Curious to see typical labor rates for machining. Thats one thing I have no experience with. For my last build I spent a total of 1400 including pistons, rings (re-used rods), all the necessary block and head work just built back to stock specs and balancing. Also included in that is 100 bucks for them to assemble the short-block so that I could walk away with a warranty. The shit isn't cheap, thats for sure. If I hadn't lost my invoice i'd scan it and post it up to give you an idea. |
Here it cost $600 for standard machine work labor for a 4 cylinder. That's align boring the block and hone, cut the deck, polish crank, etc. Head gets the seats and valves reground. If crank has to be turned, caps line bored, head needs valve guides, etc, that's extra. Not cheap, but they do good work.
