Seals ended up in the trash lol. Saw another customer with a new one this weekend smoking profusely out of the tailpipe, literally was shipped to him from charlotte in the last month. This is going to get good lol
The engine number on the one i did was in the 3300 range and i dont remember it off the top of my head. Its been in a dwarf car for the last 2 months. The number is on the paperwork st my shop, i will check tomorrow. It was also billed to have a pinned cam, and it did not.
My prices on engine rebuilds are pretty standard. Figure 17 hours of disassembly, cleaning, machine work, reassembly on an fj/xj at $65/hour. I cut it short and make it $1000, plus machine work and parts. I usually let my customers buy parts, as its not worth the hastle for very little margin.
Valve job $299 unless its been screwed up by a serdi machine....then its extra.
Hone a block to size iron or nikasil, (as we own $5k worh of diamond hone equipment, us legends does not, for proper material removal in plated cylinders) $125
Bore and hone $200
Surface head $65
Surface block $65
My engine dyno time is $500 per day plus consumables, fuel oil etc.
At track data aquisition and tuning with my telemtry on your car is $1000 per day. This is throttle position vs oxygen sensor readings which usually sells carb kits, plus the oil pressure trace after the day usually sells me a few oiling systems
