Start of the week, weekday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_bump.gif)
Richard and Dominic - Thanks! That's exactly what I'm looking for. Anybody else? What happened to... I think it's Mr. Kona? He was documenting a rebuild and had a thread here. I'm sure he's collected the costs of his rebuild. |

Gint-
I just put together a spreadsheet documenting some different options for the rebuild I am doing on my camper (just found out it is a GEX), I can email it to you. I just guessed on the machining costs for the skimp rebuild, I'm sure I am off in both directions. End result, with the level I was willing to skimp, the price difference between skimping and Jake's camper special kit is about $1400 (skimp - 2400, kit - 3780 both including some rough estimates on shipping). A more thorough rebuild closes that difference to about $800-$1000. This is looking at different vendor prices as well (aircooled.net, germansupply.com). I'm sure you can find cheaper elsewhere but I trust those vendors to provide quality. My decision, go with the camper special. With the reliability I want I would be looking at a savings of 800-1000 bucks and I know what Jake is going to send me will be excellent. Plus the headaches of dealing with the machine work will be lessened, support through Jake is good, etc. Not trying to sound like an ad, I was surprised when I finally sat down and crunched the numbers. Of course the 914 will be different but my guess is that the spread will be similar. I doubt I will regret my decision, especially when I travel out of the 100 mile AAA safety net. This isn't to say that I will always go with one of Jake's kits, I think compiling something yourself is definitely gratifying and I have some ideas for things I want to build myself. I do think that one of his kits is much more reasonable though than some might imagine. -Chris |

QUOTE(Joe Ricard @ Nov 18 2008, 09:02 AM) I am pretty sure several examples have been posted. 2500.00 minimum to 4000.00 cutting no corners. increase in performance varies significantly per dollar. My engine from carb filter to tail pipe? about 10K +/- a few hundred. i think joe summed it up. (2500-4000) i basically built a 2056 from scratch thru researching and buying quility used/rebuilt/rebuilable parts (like o.e. cylinders for boring). along with the obvious new stuff needed. it took forever but worth it. i counted everything spent and put out $4500. |

Didn't mean to come off like such a downer. I appreciate the thought. But I'm looking for costs of individual parts and labor for machining operations associated with a Type IV rebuild.
