Should I do this rebuild?
Well I just found out one of my co-workers has another job at a local mechanic shop (actually the owners son and works there).
I told him about my cracked head and he told me he could fix it and do all of this list of work for $950 w/o installation and $1500 with re-installation
- Used head
- Block cleaned
- Surfaces renewed by milling
- Block bored and honed
- Connecting Rods reconditioned
- New pin bushings installed
- Crank shaft ground and polished
- Cylinder heads pressure tested
- Cam lines checked
- Heads checked for thickness
- 3-Angel valve grind
- New pistons
- New piston rings
- New rod bearings
- New main bearings
- New wrist pin bushings
- New thrust bearings
- New head bolts
- New rear main seal
- New frost plugs
- New Gaskets all installed.
Does this sound like a fair deal?

If you go through with it, I would DEFANTLY consider throwing a hopped up cam in there. Easy as heck when you are doing a rebuild, get some easy power and open the doors for more easy power.

A multi angle valve job is the cutting or grinding of 2 or more angles on the seat and valve. The purpose of a multi angle valve job is to improve airflow. By now you have probably heard of 5 angle and radius valve jobs. The truth, this is more applicable in the American iron heads. There just isnt enough material in the small diameter seats or valves to see any real noticeable differences on a flow bench. A .5% gain maybe seen on a flowbench but the flowbench has a plus or minus error factor that has to be eliminated before a true flow figure can be attained. Older American iron heads may benefit from a five angle or radius valve job but only because the head is so bad to begin with. The Honda head is diffrent. Our flowbench testing has proven time after time that the correct angles and angle widths is what is important. More CFM gains have been made through this procedure than applying 5 angles or radiuses.
