For that price you would have to leave out align boring the case, case savers, full flow filtering, and counterweighted crank. You're left with new P/Cs and bearings, new pushrod tubes, new exhaust valves and guides, and doing ALL the labor yourself. Russ probably installed his own case savers, but most of us would send that to RIMCO and get that done by the pros at the same time as an align bore. Ditto for head work. In general, to add extra work done by someone else: align bore, case savers, main bearings, & shipping: + $200 counterweighted crank: + $200 full flow oil filtering: + $100 balancing: +$200 valve grinding: +$100 ect. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
