Since I blew my car's bottom end, I've been looking at the costs for building up a 7M-GTE, to get an idea for prices. What were your prices for:

A. Block:
1. Honing, boring if needed?
2. Deck resurfacing?
3. Crank journal grind?
4. Crankshaft polish (spun rod)
5. Rod shot peening and treatment
6. Bare parts costs for rings, bearings?
B. Head:
1. Resurface?
2. Valve seals?
3. Shimming
4. Valve job (3 angle? 5 angle?)

That does it. Any and all help is very much appreciated. Thank you and God bless!

your looking at ~ $2,000-2,500

I had 2500 in the bottom end, I did add pistons. I had 1500 in the head.

well obviously a lot of this depends on your machine shop...but here i have a very good machine shop and the prices would be as follows for everything:

A. Block: depends on where you get one...i found a block and head for $200 (you know who you are )
1. Honing, boring if needed?: $30
2. Deck resurfacing?: $100
3. Crank journal grind?: dont know never done it
4. Crankshaft polish (spun rod): again never done it so dont know
5. Rod shot peening and treatment: $90
6. Bare parts costs for rings, bearings?: my place gets them for $85 for both
B. Head: see price on A
1. Resurface? $40
2. Valve seals? comes in gasket kits....id say about $20 otherwise??
3. Shimming: dont know havent done it
4. Valve job (3 angle? 5 angle?): $120

ive found my machine shops prices are usually on the cheap end AND they do gorgeous work...guess im lucky...

BOTTOM LINE:
$685+ the things i dont know about.....not too bad...i myself with be doing something similar to this once i pick up my block and head.

Ouch. The machine work alone will send me to the poor house! (wait, scratch that, i'm already in the poor house).

Thanks everyone. I guess I should just look for a used/JDM 7M-GTE instead.

Just remeber that $750 will cost you about $250 in shipping. Then if you don't have a loading dock add $150 more for a lift gate truck.
Good luck.

would the prices be altered for an NA at all? i'm thinking about completely refurbing my 7mge and throwing in some pistons. whats a good brand/make?

 

[PIONEER]

the machine shop I went to had set rates.. for 4cylinders, Inline 6, V6, V8. they didn't care for N/A Vs Turbo

I was lucky enough to find a long block that had been rebuilt the the original owner did not have enough to pay for the entire job after it was finished. I picked up a long block with .20 over forged pistons, new bearing, head with 5 way etc etc. total under 1500 delivered. about 6 months ago on e-bay a guy was selling all the parts that already had the work done. this went for somewhere in the 1200 range. Be patient and keep your eyes open you can save some $$$ doing this. I personally did not want to go the JDM route. seemed like I might as well just rebuild what I have. to much unknow with the JDM.

Good luck. if I can help you with anything give me a PM

Thanks
Steve

damn you guys have the highest prices on machine work...

for the head you can get a brand enw rebuilt ready to go cylinder head fron CHI (cylinder heads international) for 420$ that takes care of the head..

the block if you going stock should beabout 350$ in machine work,
that would consist of
bore & Hone
crank polish
hot tank
magnafluxing
oil gallery pressure cleaning
oil pump bearing install
and deck surface machining
Connecting Rods Recondition

the prices for parts a bottom end rebuild kit on the 7mge we did cost 188$ for the entire gasket kit if i remember right that all the gaskets,

about 100$ for the main and rod bearings
Pistons and rings were like 200$

that covers all your bases

420$ for cylinder Head
350$ for machine work (this is high it costs me 200$ flat but i bumped it up for different areas)
another 400$ for new parts..

my local machien shop does ceramic coating also so my next motor will get the full treatment..

[MotoFool]

prices are almost never specific for bottom end work to certain motors other then cylinder size..

4 cylinder = x
6cylinder = x
inline 6 =x
v8 =x

etc you get the idea..
now the parts will vary (i hope you knew that already)
