Answer---> First off you setting your self for more problems. There is no way to give you a dollar figure. Motor #1 -> This motor could need a new set of rings and a good tune up.   Or Motor #2->  might need two new heads, case, crank, 4-rods and Piston & Cylinders. OK the builder gives you a wild guess and quotes $475.00.  Now it's the first motor you got robed for just putting a new set of rings.  If it's the second motor then there is no way it can be rebuilt for the quoted price. So the builder does one of two things. Builds it the right way and surprises you with new bill. Or he patches it up the best he can for the quoted price. Now either way you the customer gets had  A better way is have the builder tear it down and give you an estimate for a set price. You then get a realistic estimate along with a list of parts needed. This way you can have the builder rebuild it. Take it to another Shop or maybe rebuild it yourself now that every thing has been checked.. For just the price of the "Tear Down and Check" you get an accurate dollar amount with no surprises. If you have the same shop rebuild your motor they often have no cost for the "Tear Down & Check"     Rebuild Prices
