What are You guys paying for bore jobs?

[Rex Karz]

I just got a call from my local machine shop. $125.00 for an '82 R jug. Sounds high to Me.

[jenndnn3]

I paid $60 (I think it was around that) to a machinist @ carquest last spring.

Call those places that have welding and machining services. If they have the bore bar they should be able to handle it easy and maybe cheaper.

I pay $40 for a bore & hone at Reichert Engines, Springfield, Illinois (217) 523-4337. You can call and verify. My local ATV shop (Wes Long Racing, Jacksonville, Illinois (217) 243-0449) sends them down the street to a machinist for a $50 bore & hone. Seems like you could be getting it done for much less.

[Dammit!]

$40 last time I had one done.

$125 sounds high. Was that for sleeve installed. That is close to what it costs to send off for that. Piston and bore possible?
Just for bore/hone...it is high.

I agree, I think I paid about $125 for bore job and piston. :werd:

[wild200x]

Rex, i bet it covers the cost of the piston too. air cooled Rs dont have sleaves do they?

[scrambler250R]

Yeah I've wondered about these bore costs myself,I once had a 110 jug bored at this small cycle shop,it cost $75 for bore & hone,& set up rings.He done an A1 job but I thought it was a little steep, and I looked all over but none of the machine shops I called could do a cylinder that small.

[NOS_350X]

$57 is the minimum charge at the place i go to.

[Rex Karz]

Guys, Im not THAT stupid ! :saywhat: I supplied the piston. The bore was $90, the other $35 was to pull a seized/stuck bushing out and re-face the bottom of the jug. He said the gasket was glued on... Whatevs, I doubt I will be going back any time soon. I was expecting closer to $75.00. Either way, it's done and I will be installing it this weekend. Should I get a new torque wrench or use my old flex-needle type? :wtf:

[likestrikes]

75$ up to 1MM and near 200$ for 2MM........

My local dealer is a douche.....

[Mosh]

4 strokes are $40 here
and 2 strokes are $50-55.

But I always have to chamfer or relieve my ports when I get my 2 stroke jugs back.They charge an extra 20-30 to relieve the ports.

[kevinkline]

$65 to local honda dealer with 2 day turnaround and 4 stroke cylinder

[cr480r]

I pay $50 here to my local automotive machinist... He does a great job with the bore and hone(i check his work), but because he is a 4-stroke guy I have to chamfer my own ports..

[03 ORANGE SHEE]

$50 for a bore and hone

[MagicJames]

i pay $40 for him to chamfer the ports and relieve the exhaust port. Great guy!

[200x350xtriz250]

$25 for bore and hone. I had a 200x and 300ex done at different times at this same price...place is called the Grenade Factory, about 30 minutes from my house.
