    This all done properly.

    If it needs a rebore and pistons then it'll be more expensive though, due to price of pistons - and then might as well due a full engine build incl. low compression pistons and rods.

    If the engine hasn't got a lot of miles on it, you can often get away with valve stem seals, rings, shells, and that can be done for 1.5k over here.
    There's literally no point doing a full engine build with changing pistons and so on unless you plan on going higher than 450 hp. That's just a waste of money imo, you're not getting a lot of bang for the buck.
    People were talking about labor only at 2-3k?
    I would love to have a business there)
