How much $ for labor

[Croustibat]

For that kind of work, you ARE ripping him off by paying only 800$.

The machine shop also needs to bore the block to piston specs. Did you forget to tell us, or did he ? If he does not know that, i would get my car back before it is too late ...

No the machine shop will be giving us the specs then we will choose how much to bore and which piston size I will go with. I was busy when posting what would be done so it slipped my mind.

Hi, I'm sorry to tag along on ur thread but I have a similar problem a shop is charging me 950 for dropping of engine n putting back up. Which sounds like a descent price. But to take my engine to the shop to rebuild engine block with no mods just a rebuild of vital parts I'm guessing he's charging me 2,200.00 is he trying to rip me off?? How much is ur rebuilt costing n do u have a machine shop u can recommend?

If you look a couple posts back I wrote what parts I'm getting (also clutch and flywheel). I'm paying $800 for labor, $1600 in parts, and he won't find out the machine shop prices until this weekend but he said between $200 - $300 depending on if he can get a deal or not. I'm going through my buddy and your going to a shop so they are going to raise the prices on parts so they can turn a profit. why don't you buy the parts yourself and then have him do the work that should be cheaper?
