I rebuilt my 100 engine last year and had machine shop work done. I took t=
he shop my head first and I had already taken the valves out, so all I nee=
ded was to have the head cleaned, inspected, ever so slightly shaved as it=
was nice and flat and new valve guides inserted and made sure they were 0=
.003 clearance for my valves in each guide. Total cost for that was right =
at $200 US.I then took them my block where they cleaned the block, drilled=
out the cylinders, ordered new sleeves and inserted the sleeves, bored th=
em to fit my new pistons, honed them with a beautiful cross hatch and agai=
n, made sure the top of the block was nice and flat. Measured and polished=
my crank because it was in good shape and sent out my cam to a specialty =
shop where it was inspected and cleaned up with a slight re-grind. The cam=
was an M spec cam to begin with. That work came to $950.I was extremely p=
leased with the quality of their work and although they did take a long ti=
me, I wasn't in a hurry, so I didn't mind the time factor. It's a real old=
fashioned style of shop and they build some really nice race car engines =
