The cylinders and cranks are $40 ea

The pistons are $10ea and the rings are $5ea

The drive hub is $16

Main bearings were $30 for all three

The needle bearings for the wrist pins were $3 ea

The carb $40 and reed block $15

That comes out around $300 and then you have the aluminum block for the crankcase and black plate and the steel plate for the crankshaft joiner. And a lot of labor and amortization of machines and shop space.

This gentleman has saved some twisted crankshafts for me by re-aligning them.
We should share what we know... someone may learn...
That knowledge can live after us... and that "Pays It Forward".
Be all that you can be . . .
