Its very costly....

The machining costs for just the bottom end was just over $1400. That included the hot tank, mic'ing, bore/hone, line bore,decking /w torque plate, etc. Which also only included the install of the pistons, bearings, crank frost/galley plugs and oil squirters. I installed everything else.

I didnt have to pay any machining costs for the top end as I bought a new OEM head and then installed the aftermarket components into it myself.
