the real expense it the new pistons.....


about 500+

Re-boring isnt an expensive job itself.... just the cost to strip the engine, then rebuild....

When doing it you will need 88mm pistons (for 2.1) get forged pocketed, uprate your cams, and fit arp rod bolts.....

actual re-boring will be sub 100
