Its not possible for me to put a number on that, because every shop is so vastly different.

Honestly, putting that motor together is really simple. With something like this, costing this much money, I would want to put it together myself.

Well if you do have someone else do it for you, then make sure you know the person well.

I can't help but think about how a person getting paid $10 an hour will care just as much as you would about how much lbs of torque he puts on the bolts. See what I'm saying? Could get a ring upside down.. who knows.

That is not an instructional video on how to assemble an engine. Its merely to show the basics.

You will need to get a manual in order to know the other parts. You need to check clearances, play in components, remember to tq down certain bolts in a certain order with a certain amount of force. All this is gone through in a guide.

yeah, if you don't have a manual that has a complete tear-down right now, get away from the computer and go get one. they're extremely helpful.
