<div dir="ltr">All -<div><br></div><div>For what it's worth, if you get your motor bored, honed, surfaced and balanced by a pro, it can make a huge difference in the long term. I had my BJ8 done by Bailey Brothers 35 years ago (race shop just south of Napa Valley), and they really knew their stuff. I would assume they still know their stuff, they are still there. 100K miles and 35 years later, the hone on my cylinders is identical to the day it came out of the shop. I'd argue my BJ8 is still the smoothest running BJ8 in the world (last three words to be announced in Jeremey Clarkson's voice), they balanced every moving part in my motor. <div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Alan<br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Apr 6, 2022 at 10:22 AM Al Fuller via Healeys <<a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="gmail-m_-1187610221660285737WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">It sounds like you just did… <span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😊</span><u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Al Fuller<u></u><u></u></u></b></p><p class="MsoNormal">Fuller Compliance, Inc.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Quality Systems, Software Quality, Validation + 21 CFR Part 11<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div style="border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none;border-top:1pt solid rgb(225,225,225);padding:3pt 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> Healeys <<a href="mailto:healeys-bounces@autox.team.net" target="_blank">healeys-bounces@autox.team.net</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Alan Seigrist via Healeys<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, April 04, 2022 11:04 PM<br><b>To:</b> jomar healey <<a href="mailto:ah53@yahoo.com" target="_blank">ah53@yahoo.com</a>><br><b>Cc:</b> S and T Miller <<a href="mailto:stmiller96@hotmail.com" target="_blank">stmiller96@hotmail.com</a>>; <a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net" target="_blank">healeys@autox.team.net</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Healeys] Sticker stock- machine shop labor<u></u><u></u></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">I guess I probably shouldn't make a political comment about inflation. <span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😁</span><u></u><u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal">On Tue, Apr 5, 2022 at 9:20 AM jomar healey via Healeys <<a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net" target="_blank">healeys@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<u></u><u></u></p></div><blockquote style="border-top:none;border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:1pt solid rgb(204,204,204);padding:0in 0in 0in 6pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in"><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif">I had a 100 head done about a year ago in North Jersey where prices tend to be higher and it came to about $600<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif">Joe<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div></div><div id="gmail-m_-1187610221660285737gmail-m_835940424409048426yahoo_quoted_9963725506"><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)">On Monday, April 4, 2022, 08:06:14 PM EDT, S and T Miller via Healeys <<a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net" target="_blank">healeys@autox.team.net</a>> wrote: <u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><div id="gmail-m_-1187610221660285737gmail-m_835940424409048426yiv1570368679"><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)">It's probably been 10 yrs since I last rebuilt an AH engine, so I might just be out of touch the rising costs. Has anyone recently had machine shop work done on a 100 engine and could you let me know if what I paid seems reasonable? I've had work done at this particular shop and consider them the best around, so the quality of work isn't questioned. Keep in mind I supplied all parts (valves, springs, guides, cam bearings, freeze plugs, etc.). Also I delivered a disassembled engine, and I'm assembling the engine. <u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)">Clean and machine stock flywheel $140<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)">Head- cook, Magna Flux, replace guides, machine seats/ guides, resurface, and assembly $510<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)">Clean, Magna flux and resize rods $260<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)">Clean/ grind crank and machine slinger area for rear seal kit $580<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)">Block- cook, deck, install one cylinder sleeve, bore all 4, line bore mains, install cam bearings, install freeze plugs, machine lip off rear main cap for rear seal kit. $1,675<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)">I know this is a loaded question, and really just curious if these seem a bit inflated.
