Greetings All!
I just recently dropped off my 2.0 (GA) case and 71mm crankshaft to get checked at a local machine shop in preparation for a rebuild. Today they called and said for align bore, decking the registers, polishing the crankshaft, and mocking up the assembly with fitted and numbered main bearings it would be 30 hours of work. Does that sound reasonable? It's honestly a lot more than I expected and will add $$$ to my budget for this rebuild. Should I look for another case, maybe a 1.7, that is in better condition or has already been prepped? I'm not an expert builder and some things are worth paying for, but man that's a lot of money! Thanks for any advice! |

Not sure what to say....if it's just the bottom end 30 hours seems high, send the case to a shop set up for this work (below) and the crank and rods to a crank grinder/machine shop.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I bet with all the work from engine build plus all the work to convert it into a six with 5-bolt, tuning, sorting, tank, etc I'm way over 500 hours, maybe even close to 1000. Still not done this winter I want to do a front cooler and inner longs. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-26-1497554034_thumb.jpg) |
