Found reciept for engine machine work

[greg g]

Going through some papers and found the hand written reciept for the machine work I had done on my engine 2 years ago. Thought some of you guys could use it as a guide if you are in the machining process.

Engine was delivered dissasembled with all parts and hardware labled or in labled baggies.

Cook and clean block~ 66.00

R & R cam and bearings ~ 38.00

R & R soft plugs~18.00

Check Con Rods and install new bearings (std) 66.00

Align bore crank check crank install new bearings (std) 48.00

Bore and hone Cylinders (+.030) 96.00

valve work, check clean valves, check springs and retainers, reinstall valves, install new guides and seals,~88.00

deck block~45.00

magnaflux bead blast & mill head (.030) ~ 45.00

resurface fly wheel and flip ring gear~ 35.00

assemble to short block with new gaskets and main seals, timing chain,

3 hours at 60.00 180.00 bucks

so if my math is correct $725.00 plus the cost of cam bearing, rod and main bearings and new pistons and rings, and the engine rebuild gasket set.

I hope I can get my block done for a price that reasonable. I plan on doing some of the labor to keep the cost down.

You could pay a lot more than this too, I think.

I paid $750 2 years ago for the same sort of machinework and did not get the rods checked, valve guides installed or *any* reassembly.

The parts were delivered disassembled.

Supposedly I got a good deal given local prices (SE New Mexico).
