[bigjay]

typically what have you guys spent on top and bottom end rebuilds ( assuming you didnt do the tranny)?

Cost me nothing for a complete bottom end (gotta love dumbasses on craigslist )

Top end about $250.00

Chiness crank bearings e-bayed $32.00 Four years on them so far. $15 for the shop to press one of them out. Didn't have the tooling for the right side.
CR250 seals e-bay plus a dealer one that a 250 one won't work on the 500. Ign side I think. Maybe $30.

Tranny side, the skys the limit. $20 something for the clutch side bearing.

When I did my engine it cost me about $500 to replace every bearing every seal and all gaskets with OEM and have GSS do a topend.

the first time I did my motor completely, I spend a little over $100 on all honda bearings and seal (not including mains) bought some boss bearing mains on ebay which were fine until sand got in the motor, but they came with cheapo seals, so I bought some honda ones. the bearings were like $25 and I thing the honda seals were like $20 if you only need a rod kit for the crank, expect about $100 for the rod kit, depends on what the shop charges to install. You can do all the case bearings yourself.
piston kit $110. full gasket kit $30. bore jug $55 so...
100
25
20
100
110
30
55
=$440+whatever a shop charged to do a rod kit, maybe $50
so lets just say $490
and that includes every seal and trans bearing.
