luk3333 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) You could buy a 5k block cheaper. Or are you looking to keep it a 4K block for a specific reason? Edited July 18, 2013 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luk3333 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Thats what I was thinking, I don't see stock 5k's for under $300 come up very often on here though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 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. Â In case you didn't know, 20thou = .5mn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Oh, I was sure that the 4k was 75mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luk3333 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 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.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickn5k Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Oh, I was sure that the 4k was 75mm. Â Apologies your right I just checked wiki. not sure why I thought they were 78mm. Â 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.

I certainly wouldn't like to take that much out as it would take quite some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philbey Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I've picked up both my 5k's, complete but dismantled, from here for 100 each. Patience and you will get good prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
