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! |

New Empie rods that are supposedly better/lighter than H-Beam rods. I'm also using tool steel type 1 lifters and aluminum pushrods, etc. To keep valve train weight down in a 2.7 liter (4 cylinder) project I've got going (among many others).
