rebuild costs?

[lifelicksballs]

i was wondering how much it will cost for rebuild on a ca because i think mine has knock so i guess i will need new bearings and all that and i have no idea how much of a cost i should be looking for at machine shops...i dont want to get ripped off

then call at least three different shops. i've tried asking this same question before but you only kinda get a ball park. so i just called around.

i have about 1100 dolars in mine so far.thats with machine work and head work.i still got to get a new oil pump,and lower timing gear,clutch kit,and fluids

IIRC bio had his rebuilt at a shop in Dallas for right around $500. Now, that is a stock rebuild, and I do not beleive that includes pumps, gaskets, and seals. To get a stock rebuild, look for about $500-$800 depending on how much work you have done. Now would be a great time to port match the manifolds (don't forget the head!!!!!!!) and to port/polish the runners. Think about some valve work, and possibly replacing everything you can. Things to replace:-Main/rod bearings (~$50)-Water pump (~$30)-Oil pump (~$200)-all gaskets/seals top and bottom (~$250)-Timing belt (~$20)-All belts and hoses

Now take that and factor in all of the machine work, at around $25-$30 an hour. That should give you a ball park.

When I do mine, I am budgeting around $1500-$2000, but that will include Calico bearings (or coated OEM), rod work (cryo or shot peening), and pistons as well as all things mentioned above. Hopefully I will get to use my Cometic at that point as well
