I always find it odd that you can provide a fixed cost like that without any caveats/warnings that other parts might be required. What happens if the conrod is worn? or the crank journals?

Without labour let's assume that you probably need:

piston complete
small end bearing
crankshaft oil seals
main bearings
big end bearing
gaskets

Has it been fiched? Do you want a top line motor back or a nice safe one?

Labour:

Strip and rebuild plus crank split and re-true
possible re-bore and hone

What about your carb,clutch and exhaust?

A decent engine builder can give you your engine back gleaming; much better than I can do in my garage.

Attach some prices to the above and that might help you make a decision. Who do other people use where you race?

If you are competent then give it a go but it is nice to know what you're starting with.
