Wouldn't the block need to be align bored, decked, etc. afterwards? What does that cost Bob?




Scott,the line bore/hone and possiable cam tunnel line hone(depending on the extent of the repair will certainly come into play here and depending on the repair process the deck shouldn't be effected.With that said we always recommend line honing and square decking a block as part of any engine build.Block machine work(line hone,square deck,and bore cylinders)usually run about $1000+-
As mentioned the fact that you have two oil passages to consider,one straight to the cam and one angled to the lifter galley is the reason you want it done by a professional shop.
