| Post subject: | Too much for a complete rebuild? |
A local shop quoted about 1800 for a complete rebuild of a stock 1985 /6. I think that is a little high. I have always wanted to try and do a build myself except for the machining part of the build. Is there any place that anyone knows of around NW Ohio that is 1: cheaper than 1800 and 2: knows what they are doing. If I end up doing most of it myself is there any kind of things that I need to look out for? I dont want anything fancy, just a stock rebuild that wont burn up oil and has decent oil pressure. Thanks for any help, Paul |

Does that include in milling? like decking the block or taking any off the head or pocket porting or balancing or 3 angle valve grind? I paid $2,000 for the work listed above to hit 9.5 compression, plus regrinding the cam, head porting and Teflon coating on the pistons. |

I would say that price is about right. If they do ANY machine work at all it will add up to $600 at least plus $300 or so in "cheap" parts. Depending on whats actually done I would say thats fair. Now if it were me and I was going to spend that I would do some cheap mods to "help" the power from the slant. If it has to go to the machine shop have them up the compression a little. I dont know how much you can mill off of the Hydrolic heads before you have problems. Maybe someone else can chime in about that. Frank |
