No Ironside was right I ordered some other stuff so about 3-4 for just rods and pistons. Heads leave alone unless it is a valve problem. its better to have it together some places (me or other shops) run the motor on an engine dyno. 1. to make sure nothing is wrong with the motor. 2.make sure nothing is wrong with the motor.and 3. to make sure nothing is wrong with the motor and to cover my ass
and I believe that was like 350/hr of engine dyno time (thats only because I know the guy:marchmellow otherwise it can run twice that.

the big problem is its like house repairs ,,,it dont matter how much budget is set at ,,,YOU WILL GO OVER IT ,,as you tear down you will find stuff you will want to do to improve it more and more ,,,if you budget 10 gr then you will be safe ,,,
it depends on what set up you are using, everyone seems to get differnt numberss,dont stress too much on the numbers, the percentage of leakdown is what should concern you.
10% or so really is aobut a norm, with a 5% variance from cylinder to cylinder,
now too you have to consider any leakage past the valves also , but yours being low mileage should no have a prob there, if you show a large percentage on one and the rest are close, then you have found at least the cylinder that has the problem

pistons $1500 depending
coating $500 or less
rods if I can find the K1 rods $800 or less
bearings $500 or less
gaskets $450
billet mains $800 or less
honing for mains $1000or less
jsut randon pricing

at first glance you think $20, but then you get married and realize it really costs you everything

Boy oh boy have I figured this out.
and I thought it was exspensive to build a Pontiac or my olds!
they have just been a pain to get lately, k1 got in three sets, and I got al three, an they sold before I go them herefastestbrickonearth said:
nothing, two extra cylinders, two extra rods, bearings, valves, so on , two xtra of everything , plus crank is longer most dont have the dowls to do v-10 cranks and its expensive to buy jsut for one buildfastestbrickonearth said:
