love ke70 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) lol, a rebuild for under 200 hahahahahaha is the bore glazed? thats when it needs to be honed, but if your using new rings you need to rehone as this is what beds the rings in reboring isnt nesecary unless its been honed a few times or is well worn...

love ke70 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Posted July 14, 2006 what sort of rebuild are you talking? ill give u the price of my 1ggte rebuild, 24 valve straight 6 admitadly... redo valve seats and faces skim head deck block balance bottom end lighten and reface flywheel hone bores regrind crank due to excessive wear ~1200 (done by jack brothers racing, one of best workshops in qld) would be about 450 cheaper if i didnt balance and lighten flywheel and regrind crank... but have to regrind, so have to balance...so why not lighten flywheel right :lolcry: then, h/g head bolts thrust washers timing belt ~340 then bearings rings valve stem seals cam and crank seals ~500 obviously a 3t parts will be cheaper/more available but its not cheap brother, its not cheap Quote
chrisandliz[RL] Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Posted July 14, 2006 well this motor is short term motor so i don't want to waste money on it. Quote
madrolla68 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Posted July 14, 2006 well this motor is short term motor so i don't want to waste money on it. Depends chris,you can de-ridge and hone it,re-ring it until you have the money to do it properly and it may go for ages. Quote
Dan Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 Find a better engine thats running, new gaskets and welsh plugs and use that. If you want machining done it is going to cost a fair bit... You can rebuild a K motor for 500 andy... if you know the right people... Quote
love ke70 Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 price check on head gaskets, 4k vs 1ggte hmm, thats 17 vs 104.95 everything more expensive for my engine.... like, i bought 2 sets of 4k rings 2 sets of 4k big end bearings 2 sets of 3s main beaings coz thats cheaper than genuine and theyre the same size :) but yeah...my engine is f@$ked...for a week or 2 more anyway :lolcry: Quote
