pfrederi 19,000 #1 Posted 6 hours ago Been awhile since my last overhaul...I am fortunate to have a quality machine shop to do the machining. He has also did one of my big tractors and 230ci engine in my M37. But like everything else it is getting costlier....Bore and hone .010 over $100 Grind crank $75 Insert and size valve guide $50 valve job $20 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 44,675 #2 Posted 6 hours ago Well worth it. My last 2 K181's. I had my local shop hit the seats and set the lash on the new valves. $20 cash for the coffee fund. $40 if I wanted to pay by check with a receipt. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 10,112 #3 Posted 6 hours ago Time is money in that business. You are paying both for a service and the experience with the proper tools to get it done right. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guides.... I dunno IF that can be done. Valve grind around here is more of a hand lapping sequence on small engines. There's a more concise shop further away. They definitely do good automotive work. Small engines.....??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
