cost of engine rebuild?

[Guest]

Has anyone rebuilt a 16v 750 (or similar) motor recently? I need an accurate figure for my finance minister to plug into the budget.
I need:
Machine work/first overbore
pistons/rings/pins
rods?
gasket set
Assuming that I do all labor except machine work, anybody have a rough figure? or an example?

Anything to look out for...or "must replace" items?

hi mark carn't help with cost but as to rods very rare to replace these unless the motor has been flogged to death, major expense if you have to rebuild crank. cam chain is a must do item .really simple motor to work on just follow the manual and don't over tighten things (tension wrench is a must) cleanliness is a must. have fun rebuilds are great to do

I've just looked into doing the Weisco 816 kit for my 700. Looks like total cost is around $600. The Weisco kit is a little over $400, then the boring is $40 per cylindar. Not sure if I'll need anything beyond that or not. That is of course doing all the assembly myself.

If you are rebuilding a motorcycle that is 30 years old, it is a good idea to replace all of the old gaskets and seals.
