I've got a G13BB that's going into the Coilly, and I'm going to get it rebuilt before doing the swap.

I'd like to get everything done now while the engine is out of the vehicle, with the hope that it will give years of solid service.

I'm not looking for any performance increase, just an honest motor.

What is involved in a complete rebuild ? (What should I get quoted for ? )

Any recomendations for quality parts or kits that I can source for the shop to use ?

Cheers.

Machine work alone $700 :shocked: WTF did you get done?

Bore/hone and a crank grind shouldn't be anymore than $300 max for a tiny 4 cylinder.
Even decking the block would only add another $50 or so.

Its not a DOHC engine!!

We are just putting back together a G16B with new head, bored, new pistons, rings, crank machined, big end bearings, main bearings and a full gasket set for ~$1800. Head was ~$500 alone to give you an idea of the costings.
