It was recently suggested to post this here in the performance section, as you guys are more familiar with some of the specific rebuild costs.
Ok, I am somewhat embarrased to say that now that I have my engine out, I am just now really condisdering taking it apart and doing a rebuild. It looked like it would be $1000 or more to do the rebuild before I started, so I settled on replacing all gaskets so I can drive my 1990 SPG daily.
Now that I have spent several hundred dollars on new gaskets, pumps, etc I am really considering rebuilding the engine. My good friend is a certified volvo mechanic so i have him to help me with machining, etc. How much really is it going to cost me to do the rebuild if I do it all myself? Basically I'm asking how much in parts is it going to cost? I have done several searches but I have not found the specific details reguarding costs. I appreciate your time and input.
Okay here are some of the costs I have found:
79.00 oil punp
279.00 rebuild kit (Swedish dynamics)
155.00 clutch and pressure plate
19.00 clutch release bearing
$532 subtotal
64.90 – harmonic balancer
279.00 – hydraulic lifters
34.90 – timing chain endless Saab
50.00 chain guide
66.90 – chain tensioner
$1027.70
41.00 – knock sensor
6.99 - Coolant temp gauge sensor
11.23 – Water temp sensor
15.00 – headgasket
14.00 – valve cover gasket
0.99 – PCV bushing nipple
----
$1100 +
Okay I threw in hydraulic lifters but honestly.. mine are fine and do not tick. I threw that in to get an approximate cost for rebuilding the head. What have I forgotten, or what kind of non-part-costs should I consider?
Thank you very much for you time on reading this posts guys.
