I've just paid 2k cash for a standard rebuild on a 4x4 engine.
Usually I get machine work done then build myself but I already had an engine on my stand and not really the room in my garage at the time.
I dropped the engine minus manifolds off.
They stripped, cleaned, supplied 4 Pistons, bearings, new oil pump, rings, gaskets etc. re bored, decked the block, skimmed the head, 4 exhaust valve guides and one exhaust valve seat.
It should've been a little more as the guides and seat were required once it was stripped and checked, but it took a fair bit longer than the time originally quoted as they had an influx of race V8's to get out of the door.
That was Lyndale Race Engines in Peterborough.
When I picked the engine up, it was ready just to put the manifolds back on, the block was painted, all the pulleys had been painted!
