This is where I'm at so far.

I picked up the core this weekend and have it tore down and ready for the machine shop.

 

 

For those of you who have built your own, what was your total costs?

 

If there is anything I'm missing......let me know.

 

 

Thanks.

Rods? Is the 250 for the head and valve job ?

I'm estimating based on what the shop owner told me for a valve job.

 

I think he quoted me $85 for the valve job but I will have him do what is necessary for the RV cam.
