John:
The cost of rebuilding depends upon the condition of the motor.
A few years ago I rebuilt a motor that was found to be all in spec, where
all the crank needed was polishing, and a new set of rod and main bearings
were installed. I did, however, deglaze the cylinder walls, which were all
in spec, and fitted new rings, a new oil pump, and timing chain and
tensioner; and I ground the valves.
I have also in the distant past rebuilt a motor where the crank was worn so
bad it had to be replaced. I spite of this the bores were in good shape, so
it could have been even worse.
So, depending upon what you find inside your motor, it can cost a little or
a lot. Best to tear it down, and see what has to be done, rather than
guess at an estimated cost.
