Re: magnaflux

Well, it is usually a package process, boil(clean), magnaflux(check for cracks), bore/hone, install cam bearings and freeze plugs.

All that usually runs me 220$ or so.

Think magging the block might be 80-100 since they will need the block cleaned to get it right, you can have no oil or grease on the block to perform this step.
