I thought I would throw this up for reference if anyone is searching in the future for cost of a rebuild . This is OEM parts from CZP and machining by LW Parry Engineering in Arncliffe . Parry have been around for a long time and I have freinds that had rebuilds done there . This off course is machining and parts only . Freight charges not included . Heads : Crack and Pressure test x2 heads- $130 Head service valves/machining x2 heads- $1100 Head bolts- $75 TOTAL $1305 Block: Hone- $110 Big end bearings- $64 Rod bearings- $32 Gasket set- $278 Ring set- $174 TOTAL $658 Optional : Rebore- $220 OEM Piston set- $404 Forged rebuild kit- $1440
Head bolts- $75 Does that include the head studs too.? Big end bearings- $64 Does that include the mains or just the big ends ? ( conrods)
OEM is headbolts going straight into the block, headstuds is aftermarket ARP. Lw Parry has been around for years and do good work have used them before.
Give them a call , helpfull pleasant people to talk too . I just gave figures for people with a little know how and will do the rebuild themselves . So 2k sounds cheap but you will have to do a little elbow grease . The heads also quoted on with cams and lifters removed . There are people on this forum that have never put together an engine and have succesfully done it .
Big ends refering to journals of crankshaft (maybe worded wrond sorry) . Rod bearings are for conrods
wow thats so much cheaper than my quote.. blown vg30et big end bearing .. they said $5k for a rebuild in lismore nsw
The above costs are for do it yourself with an engine that has no major damage . Just a freshen up . If you have a spun bearing thats more work . Would probably need crank repair and new rod which is costly . Dont forget it can cost anywhere from $500 - $1000 to pull and reinstall engine . Then there is cost for labour to strip engine down and re assemble . $5k is pretty good price for full rebuild (if thats what they quoted) and roll in and roll out .
Narh they wanted me to pull her out and strip noncritical parts ... so the wanted basicly a bare block with head attached before they would start
In that case if your crank and or conrod is damaged get them second hand . Plenty of people on here have spares laying around . And then you can do the above
