Today while cleaning the borrowed l20b block. I found I MEAN old scratch on the borrowed l20b block. The borrowed l20b was just going to receive a mild hone and new rings. Damn...... That was unexpected....
So now both blocks need a rebuild sort of. This is what I decided...
I will Hone out my block as much as I can. Install new rings and hope it holds.... If not, I will rebuild the borrowed l20b...
I was quoted 330$ to rebuild the short block on the l20b. It's just parts and prep work. No labor. They will hot tank, cut, hone the block, Order new rings and pistons, polish the crank and order the correct bearings, And install the new pistons to the rod. For 60$ Then can include the freeze plugs "installed" and paint.
