    Rebuild Questions

    Sup Guys, Thought I Would Come Here Since You Guys Know It All.

    Whats The Average Cost For A Rebuild And Where Can I Get The Parts Cheap.

    Nothing Fancy, I Found A Rebuild Kit On Ebay For $401.xx With Free Shipping, Wondering If It Is A Good Deal.

    what brand is the rebuild kit?
    Are you planning on a stock rebuild?
    I spent about $1100.00 on mine several years ago

    There is a company that sells long blocks on ebay for $700. (not that I endorse them)

    Buying a rebuild kit & doing it yourself can run up in the thousands. DIY rebuilding motors isn't for the novice wrench turner.
