deadmonkey Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 there is no way it will cost just $300 to rebuild an engine. $300 for the kit maybe but not for the machine work and a kit! Link to comment
hang_510 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 $300 is for the head work. not that bad of a price. what head? there is an L20b in penn valley Link to comment
ricky Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Its just a stock l16 head Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 what you think is wront with it? Would just bolting another head on maybe be cheaper and Ezer. if soembody has a A87/W53 head. a stock L16 210 casting head is allmost worthless IMHO Link to comment
deadmonkey Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 oops... $300 for the head is reasonable :) I thought you said for the engine! :) Mine was little less than $300 for my head, but they put in new valve seats and removed a broken stud for me too Link to comment
