About $125 will get you a set of good rings, bearings and an overhaul gasket set. The head machining including reseating valves is about $300. You would end up with a good stock engine.
For more power you need to improve the breathing, cam, ports work, carb upgrade, exhaust flow improvement. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Heibloem" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, 16 January 2002 13:55 PM Subject: Rebuilding an L-Series > hey guys, (and gals) > > a friend is giving me a clapped out L20B which i am thinking about > rebuilding to put into my shitter 180b for daily driving use, and i reckon > its a good chance to learn about engine internals... > > my question is an easy one...whats it going to cost to rebuild this? > > i am wanted to learn to do it, and i have a guy willing to teach me.. > > i was thinking, a general rebuild, rings, bearings, maybe some head > machining..nothing too drastic though (or expensive). > > if i can cover most of the labour myself, are these simple parts expensive.. > > also, can u do some subtle things on a rebuild to better the performance of > an L20b? i can get a 32/36 for nothing and i was plannign on running it.. > > also i can get my hands on just about any L-Series spare parts i need (no > exotic SSS heads though)..would a L16 head improve compression therefor > performance? > > any input or advice would be greatly appreciated.. > > tim > > _________________________________________________________________ > MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: > http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx > > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
