#89129, "Details about rebuilding short block."




          

Sup guys.
I talked to two of the garage/machine shop already.
And I want to see what I have to get done to the BLOCK to get the BEST engine rebuild?

I got the howell long rod bottom end kit.

The job that the auto shop/machine shop should do to the block includes:
-parts cleaning
-block shot peened
-all bolt holes tapped
-decking the block
-bore and hone .020
-brass freeze plugs
-crankshaft polished and checked
-assemble bottom end

What else do I have to look for?
Thanks.

One of the shop quote me $750 for the above work. you guys think is good?

Nashville, I got our machine guy to do it for me, I work for a dealership. Pretty much all that except for the bolt holes, but you could do that.

I guess it's not bad, but I only paid $500 for the following:

hot tank (clean)
bore/hone
deck
balance pistons/rods/crank
assembly (includes gapping rings and spec'ing out bearings)
new freeze plugs (no longer press in - tapped for threaded pipe fittings)

I think you need to do some shopping around. For $750, you should get a balance, fresh coat of paint and a blow job from the mechanic's wife imo. emoji

Clarifying. Oil galley freeze plugs. Not the coolant freeze plugs.

That's the thing too.
I did a rebuild before (2 years ago)
and I got a machine shop to do it for $600 but it supplied rings, rod bearing, main bearing, resurface crank journals, but no boring or balancing I think.

So.... any other input?

Pretty sure he did the same thing with the freeze plugs, bro, but you may be right. Not like we're talking about turbo GMCs... emoji
