RV8 Rebore

Post by volospian »

Anybody got an idea how much I'd be looking at for a rebore of an RV8?

Also, what are the chances of repairing a rusty bore with a rebore?

cost of rebore is a case of you get what you pay for, £35 to £50 a bore will get you a rebore, £65 to £80 will get you a good job with the decks squared off and a line bore on the mains from a machine shop with a good reputation.
I would look for a good machine shop on recomendation first then discuss what you need with them, only then worry about the cost.

Meh, it's only going to be a test block, it's not worth the expense.

I may as well keep an eye out for something else and scrap this one.
