machining costs

[mossy]

How much should i expect to pay for a 1600 to be taken to a 1700?

[escort21]

A rebore at my local costs 60 quid

[Rick]

mine cost 6 quid a bore, its the pistons that are expensive

[Anglia68]

I've just had my block bored out from 1600 upto 1700 and it was £70.

six??? That cheap compared with what the others have paid

[BIG G]

my pinto cost me 100 quid bored and honed.

mine cost 6 quid a bore, its the pistons that are expensive

 

six??? That cheap compared with what the others have paid

 

The way it was explained to me was that to go from 1600 to 1700 requires each bore to be bored 3 times taking about 30 thou out each time so 4 cyls x 3 bores = 12 bores in total.

Mine cost me £70,divide that by 12 is £5.84 a bore,call it £6.

That makes sense
