The only one I know is DSM Graveyard and I thought that was just an Ebay store.

do you know how to rebuild it yourself? Where are you located?

It may be more cost effective to buy a built engine and send them your core instead of paying to ship your block to be built and then paying to ship it back on top of the build cost.

nope, it will probably take the same amount of time for your to rebuild it yourself. the machine shop is the longest period. You will also save a TON of money to do it yourself

Amen to that. If you have all the tools and parts, a rebuild kit costs what.... 1 Grand? Now you send it to a shop. They have to spend at least 1 grand for parts, plus labor, shipping a block both ways (not cheap), AND they have to turn a profit. IE, shops will prolly cost anywhere from 2.5 to 3 grand.

it depends on what you get with the kit, and what quality the parts are. post a link to the one you are looking at

wow your lazy :laughing: j/k

It looks like a good kit if you want a stock rebuild. it's also missing timing belt tensioner and timing pulleys. do you want a performance rebuild or do you plan to stay stock??

don't buy a kit that comes with pistons. all you need is:

timing belt and components
oil pump
rings
rod bearings
main bearings
gasket set
cook/clean at machine shop
crank micropolish at machine shop


done
