[6pack] engine rebuild

[Ed Bratt]

John:

The cost of rebuilding depends upon the condition of the motor.

A few years ago I rebuilt a motor that was found to be all in spec, where 
all the crank needed was polishing, and a new set of rod and main bearings 
were installed.  I did, however, deglaze the cylinder walls, which were all 
in spec, and fitted new rings, a new oil pump, and timing chain and 
tensioner; and I ground the valves.

I have also in the distant past rebuilt a motor where the crank was worn so 
bad it had to be replaced.  I spite of this the bores were in good shape, so 
it could have been even worse.

So, depending upon what you find inside your motor, it can cost a little or 
a lot.   Best to tear it down, and see what has to be done, rather than 
guess at an estimated cost.
