Took the 2.0 to North east Machine shop last week.

their link

Here's the news:

Check align bore: Good

Turn and polish crank: One over

Magna flux (or whatever it's called) to test for cracks: Good

Install threaded galley plugs: No problem

Soak and clean case: Nice and shiney!

Measure con rods: two are good, two are bad.

Find and balance two new rods. Can you recommend a replacement?

Find bearings "one over".

$425.00 for the work and the rods. Sound reasonable?
