Take it from someone who has purchased pretty much an entire U20 engine
rebuild. 1500-2000.00 will almost get you a new top or bottom end, but not
both. Timing and cylinder head costs are the real killers with pistons
getting honorable mention.

I wish the parts would only cost $1500-2000.

Can you say OUCH!!!! This is the thousand dollar question. The parts
alone
are going to set you back prohably 1,500 - 2,000, maybe more, if you
need
timing gears, chains, and guides. Then rings, bearings, gaskets, valves,
new
bolts, pistons, valve seals, valve springs, and while the motor is out
you
should replace the clutch, throughout bearing, pressure plate and
clutch.
