| Post subject: | Good/cheap place to get engine rebuilt |
Hey guys I'm new to this forum I have a 94 Sierra that is using a fair bit of oil. I thought instead of changing the rings I'm going to do a full rebuild. I'm still trying To weigh up either rebuilding myself or Getting someone else to do it. I'm from Newcastle NSW and I dont really know Where to get it done. So my question is does Anyone know a good place in Newcastle that Isn't going to charge an arm and a leg to get My g13ba bored honed and machined? Cheers Skelly |

Cheers Skelly what kind of experience do you have? ever build one b4?eg: do you know the difference between a crankshaft and a cam shaft? (some people dont know) should budget for over 1g to get it done by a shop, doing it your self will be cheaper but still expensive when you consider the cost of parts and machining. |

Low kilometer import engines are a good choice. I got my Vitara engine from http://www.enginesplus.com.au/Suzuki.htm |

There is a shop that I used (can't remember the name) down on industrial drive, it bored, decked, fitted pistons to rods and balanced my engine, I think $40 a bore and $120 a deck... If you want the name let me know. |
