Wow!!
Wow!! so i got the price for all the work the machine shop has done and im kinda speechless along with my dad. $4k for splayed 4 bolt mains/caps diamond pistons top seal rings machine work on the block (dont know everything) new bearings and then studs on the axels and bearings on the axels. does this sound right? i feel lik i just got kick in the nuts right now.
Sounds a bit on the high side, but not far off. Typical rule of thumb is that it will cost you double what you think it will. My bottom end was almost 3k, and I didn't have the mains splayed.
What are you doing for crank/rods? Is that included in the $4k?

they were just checkin the crank and rods for cracks. i feel lik its ALOT the block was in good shape it had 1k miles on it to begin with. i expected 2500 plus the 400 for the axels
no were assembling the motor and dont feel lik a dick. i feel retarded for not askin idk y i didnt. i have the 4k but it seems steap to me maybe its not.
parts included in the price. parts they supplied are main caps pistons rings and bearings

got the breakdown not as bad as i thought the things that were the most were the pistons rings and main caps.
diamond pistons .060 over-$824.50
total seal rings- $349
splayed/installed caps- $455
rod bearings-$87.36
main bearings-$87.75
cam bearings-$26.50
conetic gaskets-$190
arp main studs-$105
felpro oil pan gasket-$29
linebore-$195
mill block-$175
ballance rot ***.-$210
then there's a few more mchining things that are between $2-$75 a toltal of $3,404.34 ad i dont think that includes the 400 for the axels. not as harsh as i though but still think they killed us on the pistons rings and main caps

J/K - I'd be really worried about the quality of work for that price!!!

yea well we did tell them we want the best. so thats wat we got and im just an idiot for not gettin a quote. i got the money and after thinkin its not a big problem since they got us pretty much everything we need. it suck that they had to go .060 over i dont lik the idea of how thin the wall are and its a nitrous motor.
the block was already .040 overbored. and apparently they found small scratches or somethin in the barely used block and bored it out more. they didnt want to go .050 cuz then they would hav to special order the pistons and they woulda been alot more
