It all depends whose doing the work.
Im budgeting £1500 with all work being done by myself.
Spec will be
Arias forged Pistons
Eagle Rods
New oil and water pump
Cometic 1.2mm head gasket
ARP studs
Machine work:- rebore, flywheel skim, maybe lightened and balance crank and flywheel
New bearings
Im sure theres other bits that ive missed. If youve got it in you to do it yourself, then go for it, your knowledge base will be huge when you done.

No way I could do it my self, would kill it for sure. But could always help my mate (well slow him down but lear more). He rebuild one a year or so ago so could ask him for a quote. . . . all depends on the damage to the engine I suppose. Could always strip it and go from there

above is about right!
i spent around that figure when i done mine, but that included cams and porting head, but i did get a lot of parts very cheap!
if you just want a basic rebuild, then it really depends on whats wrong with the engine and what it needs to bring up to spec, and how far you want to go with it!

mine cost me 900 but with standard rods, and a very good deal on my clutch the most expensive parts were the pistons, if ur not going for big big power i personally never balance anything apart from the pistons which came balanced for free, as these engines are very well balanced as they are, so i dont see the need unless want a big big power, as if u put one crank flywheen on machine and balance it then swap it to another it will most likely show it needs a balance again, basically saying its not just the person who does the job but when did the machine last get calibrated and if so could the person be bothered to do it right, if anything like our brake rolling road they dont, but just charge u for it and make out there doing something, which can do more harm then good as there very well balanced as they are from the factory, oviously though if u change the flywheel then get it done.

yeah i'd say a grand to fifteen hundred with forge internals, steel h/g, rebore, new pump internals and timing chain, bearings etc.
depends how hard you look to get the parts cheap!

£500 for pistons - Mine are Wossner. You can get JE ones from US for £400 ish but you have to wait 3 or 4 weeks i think.
£150 - £250 for gaskets.
£350 - Engine internal work - re-bore, pistons putting in, Polish crank etc
£550 - for my mate to take it apart and put it all back together!
Plus any other bits you need.
This is ish what i spent getting my forged rebuild done.

you can buy a set of weisco forge teflon coated pistons and eagle rods off ebay for £380 in a kit with everything youll need!
rebore is around £60 (if you fit pistons yourself)
flywheel lightening and balancing etc is only around £40
shells are around £130 big ends and mains
dont know about crank as i never bothered with that, like azboy said they are generally fairly well balanced, but its the fly that causes most probs due to heat spots and warpage from launching etc!
you will save a fortune by doing it yourself and hunting around for the parts on the cheap (well cheapish anyway)
if you want i will find a link to the pistons and rods for you!
