I'd like to see where the $$$ are spent for a Type IV rebuild. Looking for a complete price break down listing of each of the individual parts (or group of parts, ie. pistons) , machining, labor (if necessary), etc...
Someone has to have done a complete listing of costs during their rebuild. But I've never seen one on this site. |

I'd like to see where the $$$ are spent for a Type IV rebuild. Looking for a complete price break down listing of each of the individual parts (or group of parts, ie. pistons) , machining, labor (if necessary), etc... Someone has to have done a complete listing of costs during their rebuild. Off the top of my head, for a 2056 rebuild (and reusing some parts) I am also counting fuel induction and exhaust as part of the engine build cost. $2000 core 2056 engine with a butt ton of good parts (Mallory, 44 IDF carbs, CERAMIC LIFTERS, good heads, etc.) $100 case machining (squaring droopy registers) $80 cylinder boreout (I dropped one... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ) $270 set of KB pistons/rings, balanced, from Jake $40? main bearings $50 seal kit $25 adjustable push rod tool (from Jake - not needed, but VERY helpful) $20 HF 1 inch dial indicator and mount $100 lightened flywheel, tuna can, extra engine case, cam bearings (thanks Josh!) $20 locktite case sealant $trade push rods, mahle cylinder (the one that got bored out) $700 Eurorace headers, turbo muffler $60 two IDF rebuild kits (ebay) $10 two phenolic gaskets. $10 M8 threaded rod to make longer studs to use the thick gaskets. $80 bead blasted clean all engine tin. $16 engine paint for clean tin (rattle can) $100 engine test stand (home built, componant cost only) Theoretical total: $3681 Keep in mind, I am including things that others may not include for an "engine" rebuild. Either way, you have to do them, and an engine won't run w/o fuel and exhaust. I could have saved a little money if I had not been butterfingery with one of my cylinders. But I also looked for deals and made use of the 914world network instead of just going retail. Also, I did not have to have my heads done, and that saved me a TON of money. And, obviously, finding Evan and buying his 2056 was a godsend. The carbs, mallory, and lifters alone were worth what I paid for the whole engine. Zach |
