I'm getting ready to rebuild my KA24e well my extra one to be ready for turbo. What I was wondering is what machine work should I have done and if anyone has experience about how much it should cost? What would be the minimal work done and what extra can be done, I was either going to try and keep it stock or .020 over not sure yet.

MinimalMag the block Hot tank hone the cyl walls

Things you should do bore .02 over gap your rings resurface the head/block

Every machine shop is different, you have to call them up and see what their prices are.
