Got a quote for engine machining and parts on my 2015 mustang gt.
Piston had a hole in it and piston rings melted to piston. Piston scraped the sides of the cylinder wall.
Total Cost Machine Work (Heads / Block): $2,060
Total Cost Parts: $3,522.00
Total Cost: $5,582
What do you guys think?
I think that the .030 bore is too much for the 2nd gen coyote and it severly limits finding pistons. I'm hoping the .030 is just the initial quote and not what they think needs to be taken off.
I think I am okay with the machine work but I think I want to try to find different/cheaper parts.
Car is currently N/A and I doubt it will see high hp for quite awhile. So while I want to future proof it, spending 6k is too much for me (considering how well the stock engine does when running right).
Thinking either getting a quote for resleeving the damaged cylinder instead of boring the whole block, allowing me to run a stock piston and keep my other pistons/rods. Or trying to find cheaper pistons.
Don't think I need the upgraded spring kit or main studs also. Although if someone could chime in I have been thinking more about N/A cams. Think it would be best if I kept vct though and I think MMR recomends deleting vct if upgrading springs and retainers.
