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. |

The variables between engines will make a thread like this, with such definitive points being asked virtually impossible to respond to.
Every engine is worn differently and these days you'll spend time and moeny "un-fucking"what others have done to the engine in it's previous lives. Remember the old saying- if you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it. Often times budgets are the creators of compromise and that can lead to total failure- no matter what engine you are working with. |

Bottomline it costs money to go fast. I'm not trying to go fast. The variables between engines will make a thread like this, with such definitive points being asked virtually impossible to respond to. Remember the old saying- if you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it. Often times budgets are the creators of compromise and that can lead to total failure- no matter what engine you are working with. Not really. I understand the points you're trying to make, but... It's actually a pretty simple request for data. Perhaps I'm not making myself clear. I appreciate the contributions to this thread. At this time however I'm not looking for 'what I should do' or 'how I should do it' or 'based on my budget' or other philosophical points about rebuilding a Type IV motor. There are tons of threads on this site about stuff like that. I could read them for days. In fact over the years of being on this site, I have read them for days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) This is what I'm asking for: If you rebuilt a Type IV motor and have an itemized list of the parts, labor and machining operations costs, please post it here. That's all. And thanks. |
