Old mate just quoted $150-$200 to weld, machine and re-sleeve the E-Tec block how bloody cheap is that, he said he couldn't do anything with the crankshaft because it has needle bearings or roller bearings he mentioned because the engine smashed to bits there are tiny bits of metal on the crankshaft journals and its sketchy to machine the crankshaft because of those bearings are one size fitment only hesaid he could polish it but that's about all he can do
the rod journals look ok but looking at the crank journals they took a bit of a knock around
if i want to do a brand new job its cough up USD $1400 or a new crankshaft, Aud $3000 or run with what i have
