Machine work cost?
Machine work cost? What do you think it would run to hone, maybe light bore a block .010, balance and install new pistons/rods? I am considering dropping in forged pistons and rods on a stock crank. Any ideas on machine work/labor?

I would say anything between 700-900 is a good price.
heres some prices i was quoted...
$400 blueprint and assembly
$175 balance the motor (i got new forged rods and pistons)
$360 Machine work (ie.. Hone to 3.905, turn the crank .010, cam bearings + install, and degrease the block)
$75 to file fit my rings.
for a total of $1010.00.....
i on the other hand only had the machine work and the balancing done $535.
