July 18, 201313 yr comment_662096 I got quoted $70 per cylinder to bore a 4k out to a 5k This sounds fairly reasonable to me, just wondering what other peoples experiences are. Report
July 18, 201313 yr comment_662107 You could buy a 5k block cheaper. Or are you looking to keep it a 4K block for a specific reason? Edited July 18, 201313 yr by B.L.Z.BUB Report
July 18, 201313 yr Author comment_662110 Thats what I was thinking, I don't see stock 5k's for under $300 come up very often on here though Report
July 18, 201313 yr comment_662113 That is very reasonable as you need to take out about 220 thou (depends on your bore wear) and you can only really take out 20 thou at a time. In case you didn't know, 20thou = .5mn Report
July 18, 201313 yr comment_662119 That is very reasonable as you need to take out about 220 thou (depends on your bore wear) and you can only really take out 20 thou at a time. In case you didn't know, 20thou = .5mn I'd agree, it's pretty reasonable, not cheap but not stupidly dear. Its only .100" over though. 4k = 78mm std and 5k = 80.5mm std. Report
July 18, 201313 yr Author comment_662125 Any idea's where I should look for 5k that isn't a wreckers? I've checked out ae86dc, clubk, gumtree and ebay already. There is no way I'll get one from a wreckers for under $300.. Report
July 18, 201313 yr comment_662127 Oh, I was sure that the 4k was 75mm. Apologies your right I just checked wiki. not sure why I thought they were 78mm. Dang thats a heap to take out then. It's now changed me that's a good price. I'd also be starting to think about sonic testing a block thats getting bored that big. Edited July 18, 201313 yr by kickn5k Report

I'd also be starting to think about sonic testing a block thats getting bored that bog. All good. I certainly wouldn't like to take that much out as it would take quite some time Report
July 18, 201313 yr comment_662138 What vehicles were released in Aussie with 5Ks?? Where should we be looking for them? Report
July 18, 201313 yr comment_662143 Km36 liteaces......and forklifts! Try ringing around commercial wreckers. Report
July 19, 201313 yr comment_662182 I've picked up both my 5k's, complete but dismantled, from here for 100 each. Patience and you will get good prices. Report
