My leak down test resulted in 6%, 6%, 10%, 17% So while my motor is in the shop now, were talking about rebuilding the motor, .20 overbore, etc.. He quoted me $1200 and it would be like a new motor. Does this price sound reasonable? Thanks.

If you could list the work being done, we could better judge the value.Does that number also include parts?

I JUST bought a 1993 from my doctor who had fresh receipts for the engine rebuild. She paid $2700.

i just had my KA24DE rebuilt and the mechanic did 4 new plugs, 1 gal of coolant, 1 airfilter, 1 thermostat assembly, 1 radiator assembly, a rebuilt longblock which is all the internals of the block and the head. distributor cap and rotor, a set of plug wires, a rocker gasket, 4 quarts of oil and oil filter. All this came to $2862.90 labor and parts included.

Good deal, just make sure you dont get a Jasper rebuilt head, and the guy is actually rebuilding it all himself.
