$1,200.00
Description:
To have your VW type 4 long block rebuilt from the rod bearings out by us, you must supply the following:
$1200 for labor only, with parts, machine work*, and any related shipping being extra.
I will tear it down to the rod bearings, replace the rod bearings, inspect & possibly reuse the rods. If the rods need rebuilt, they'll get sent out for: rebushing, end to end balancing & mate balancing & new nuts.
I'll install a new piston & cylinder kit with Total Seal Gapless 2nd rings.
I'll inspect & possibly reuse your heads (they will be steam cleaned only). If they leak or are cracked they'll be sent out for repair.
I'll install new pushrod tube seals. I'll clean & blow out the pushrods.
I'll inspect & reinstall your valve train at the correct lash & install the valve covers.
Of course any gaskets encountered in the process will be replaced with new.
*Machine Work meaning:
- A clean long block. Pressure wash at a car wash or steam clean the engine before bringing it to be rebuilt. If you're going to ship it, NEVER use styrofoam packing - only paper or cardboard AND ALWAYS use boxes designed for the weight. Double boxing or crating for long blocks and double boxing for short blocks.
- A $700 deposit.
- Bring the long block, which consists of:
- The drain plate on the bottom
- The flywheel (the clutch & p-plate can be there too) on the back
- Nothing on the front of the crank - the shroud & fan etc must be off
- No shrouding or tin or exhaust components
- Nothing on top
- Drain the oil. Bring with no oil in it
