Re: 2.0 engines

[Kevin <aventari@cts.com>]

Well I have my 1.8 block done at a reputable machine shop here in San
Diego. the waiting list was about 4 months, it took 6. 
What they did:
deck the block .005"
bored .020 and honed (no torque plate, "They dont make them for those
engines.." yeah right. I shoulda found someone that DID, but live and learn..)
crank saddles line honed
hot tank everything, fix a few bolt holes
shot peen rods
r&r rods
r&r intermediate shaft, and new bearings
balanced whole rotating assembly including complete clutch
balanced rods

it cost me about 700 bucks. WAY more then i'd expected for just the block
but hey.. I also had to buy new pistons, rings, bearings, cranshaft, and
camshaft on TOP of that 700.

The head cost $250 for the machine work.
