I just rebuilt my RS engine in the shed(standard bore/BVH with porting,cam etc....) it cost me around $250, honed,new rings,all bearings (rods,mains,cam),gaskets,welsh plugs,lapped the valves,valves stem seals,and main seals front and rear,ARP rod bolts,wash and paint.


Just buy a VRS gasket set which has everything in it,measure your bores,inspect your crank and rods for damage,if in doubt take then to a trustworthy engine builder for inspection.Then buy all your bearings and rings go for it.
I also asked for a price to build my engine up, $500labour + parts and machining required.
Still fairly cheap.
I have 2 or 3 more engines to build up and sell soon for a bit of fun and $$$$,its quite relaxing......

thanks dave. i would rather not learn engines so would farm out the work. around $750.
