    well, if you have mechanic at your hand, and you have about $300-500 you should be ok.
    it is not that hard. it is jut time consuming.

    Rebuilding a engine isn't to hard if your mechanically inclined & have the tools to do it. You never want to get in a hurry & take your time. There are precise measurements to look at along with precedures taken. The cost varies on the shape of the block & machine work involved with it & the crankshaft & cylinder head. The price can range anywhere from $500 to over a $1000 depending on what dealer parts you want to replace to make sure things are "right" the for a long time.
