engine rebuild



  172 cup
I know it will vary from place to place, but how much roughly does it cost to have a 172 engine rebuilt? just to standard spec and would having the engine out make a big difference in the price?
 
  DON'T SEND ME PM'S!!
depends very much on the condition of the internals when it's stripped. whether or not it needs valve guides can be a difference of over £200 for example, and that's just one item. Ideally you'd just do everything but sometimes customers only want to have what needs doing changed, rather than everything just because you're there.

If your just looking for a replacement its cheaper just to buy a decent used engine (make sure it has decent service history etc)

Basically just weighing up my options if mine does need a bit of work doing to it. Not sure if you got my text James, are you around soon to have a listen to my engine see what you think?
