phew, i didnt realize how much machine work was going to cost

new cam bearings
align hone and bore block to match pistons
notch block for stroker
clean block
balance rotating assembly
mock up crank to make sure everything is correct
weigh rings and balance pistons and rods


$385 total

is that good? It was like a stake through the heart for me!

Sounds decent to me. The last time I was going to have anything done balancing was about $125 and boring was around $50 to $100. And this was for a stock rebuild.

Yes, it's very good.

What did you think it would cost?
