Default got a quote on engine work

my engine is being rebuilt, in pulling it apart we discovered it was already 40 thou over, but the bores were screwed and pistons had chips at the top.

so it is going to be bored out to 60 thou, and new ACL flat tops put in. also bottom end balanced, crank grind and balanced, clutch balanced, lighten flywheel.

then the head will have a service which includes hardened seats for unleaded

all up the quote is about $1200

do you rekn its a good price?
