Wonder if his mechanic referred him to L&N. If so he's probably OK and the OP is just confused by the language of engine rebuilding.

Regardless, it appears this mechanic packaged and sent the motor to L&N so he knew there were new liners going in. Consequently he also knew he was going to be installing new pistons and rings and new head gaskets. There shouldn't be any additional charges to his original quote which I believe the OP said was $12-13k including the $5k for L&N. We need to know if he sent the heads out, how much he charged for those, and what else was included in his original quote. Was that original quote in writing?...

Wish we knew who it was or at least what city this was in....

expensive!

 

Thanks for the tread fpd111.


I will have an update with the details of my rebuild in the the next few days.

 

you might want to check https://driveautocare.com they are very good at rebuilding cars, my friend just got hers rebuild and it runs like new.

 

I'm pretty sure since the thread is like at least 7 years old, they probably found a solution. At least I'd hope by now.
