Re: Engine Rebuild

$5k for an engine rebuild is pretty much the going rate, at least locally, if not slightly on the cheap side for a good job. Vellio's Machine in Lawndale is very good, I know several folks who've used them and been more than happy--they really know their stuff, so if you want a good estimate give them a call if you haven't already. However, unless you've got something else going on - low oil pressure, high oil consumption, low compression on all cylinders, a knock in rhythm with the crankshaft, you've probably got some life left in your engine. Yes, a rebuild would certainly cure what ails your engine, but a valve job sounds more like what you need.

I'm not too far away from you, if you need a second pair of eyes and a free second opinion, PM me and we'll see if we can't figure out what's going on.
