Re: Block Bore
That's about $37.50 a hole. Not too bad, really.

Re: Block Bore
If that includes a hone thats in the neighborhood of about right. If the block is a good one off the bat you may not even need any other work done to it.

I think my shop it was $25 a hole + 10 for a hone. Around $250 or so.
