Engine rebuilds?

Good and inexpensive are not to be used in the same sentence when it comes to an engine rebuild. I'ts probably going to run you triple that to say the least.

Parts aren't even that cheap, if you do it right the first time. Try the west section for hundreds of threads on shops!

I'll do it for $500.

It probably won't work to well, since I've never 'rebuilt' an engine, but I'm sure we can find the o-rings at autozone, and get some gaskets and napa.

We'll be alright.

Maybe I can fabricate some seals out of pieces of spatula... we can just chop one up.

Nah.. for labor, parts, etc... you figure...

Full Rebuild Kit - $1100
Remove/Replace Engine Labor - $700-1000 depending on where you go.
Rebuild Labor - $600-900 depending on where you go

You figure $3000 worse case, maybe $3500 if a housing or rotor has to be replaced etc etc.

$2000 would be a good deal if someone did it all for you.

Guitarjunkie did my rebuild, and then engine sounds solid as hell... his prices were very fair and I provided the parts.

if working 15 hours a day qualifies as vacation...

i actually did take half the day off yesterday though. i didn't sleep the night before and just ran out of steam.

what'd you do today?

nothing...and it was everything i thought it could be

btw, fed ex picked up the package yesterday, so that's all handled. homeboy showed up with an ENVELOPE and said "you need a pickup?"
i'm like: we're gonna need a lot bigger envelope
