Stock bore aftermarket pistons

[gezed]

I actually had it all done at a local shop and heres the breakdown of the costs:

bore+hone $190
micropolish+crank collar fitting $180
resurface head + block $150
hot tank block $45

if you assemble the short block yourself you save yourself quite a lot of money, as long as you check the bearing clearances with pastigauges and have a good torque wrench should be no problem

oh and about the crank balancing, the shop said it wasn't necessary unless the crank has been damaged or if the new piston/rod's weight is significantly different from stock

I beleive a stock RB26 crankshaft will start to vibrate at 7200 RPM. I would have it done if everything is opened up already...
