x2..

are you talking with the pistons and all that or just what he is charging me to build it?
with him building it this is the message i got on another forum

Ok so this is where we are sitting
To pull the motor
Pull it apart
Clean and bore the engine
assemble the engine
and put it back in your car
is $2040.00
With the UtahMazdas discount its $1680

This price includes everything listed above. the only machine work it covers is the bore. If you need a vavle grind or anything other then the bore it will cost more.
Also the price doesn't cover any parts needed for the build. Some things we are going to need are-
Full engine gasket set
Oil
Coolant
engine Bearings
piston rings
AC recharge
I might be missing a few things but thats all I can think of at the moment lol


i hope that helps you out, if you were talking about with the pistons and all that shit i need to find a calculator haha

:edit: he is also not charging me sales tax and all that

Oh wait the same guy did your internals? (boom01) Like the other guy said, I would FORCE them to take the engine apart and check every part. You don't want the motor to blow 3 weeks after they give it back to you and have them say it was because you drove it hard.

Well it actually took place last summer but I had it done at a small shop in grandledge MI. Basically I toasted the #4 rod bearing, they told me there was no crank damage so they just redid the bearings on the bottom end. And charged me $1600 to do it!!!

Well after about 300 miles the knock I had before came back, and they had the balls to tell me it was my fault and that I had beaten on it haha. This is all after I questoned them over and over again whether just doing the bearings was enough...

My car then sat there for around 8 weeks for warranty work "they were too busy for". Well after a short while I said F*(k it and told them I would supply a new engine and they would instal it for free. So my grandfather helped me out and I bought a "new" Jasper engine with the 100,000 mile warranty.

4 weeks later I finally had my car back. Only to find out when I washed it later that night that I had 6 dents on my hood along the front. When I asked them about it they again had the balls to blame it on me asking if I had went to any parties... I laughed at them and told them I wanted it fixed. They then tell me that my car got egged in their parking lot and that might be the cause of them. Oh and they told me they wouldnt pay for a body shop they would just do their "best" to get them out haha yea right.

Basically they didnt listen to thing I had to say, thinking a 20 yr old new nothing about cars. They also put a crack in the main bearing support plate while they pried on it... I kept telling them there were 2 hidden bolts and the transmission had to come off. They laughed at me on that one, and then after they broke it, they made me pay for a new one!!!!
