Engine service

24 May 2020 05:02

I'm looking to have some engine work done. Head job, boring my block on my 77 KZ1000.
Any recommendations for a nice budget build. Looking to send the parts out.

You really need to tell us what you mean by a "nice budget build". Without batting an eye from your list I would guess $1200 to $1500 if you are replacing the pistons. In my area boring a cylinder is $100 per hole if you want it done right. Piston kit is $500.00. Head work is the great unknown until you see what it actually needs. My head job thru APE was $600 and a two month wait. This stuff can add up quick. but if you want a good end product you have to pay to play. This is not for the faint of heart.
