For a shop to overhaul your motor.....??? it'd be cheaper for you to buy a reman short or long block ready to go from a place like JASPER..........anyway it's not hard if you have general automotive knowledge and you know how to check for things like wear on the crank, wear on the cylinders like how much of a ridge on the upper cylinder there is...if any how to use a ridge reamer to remove it...or if alot then have it bored......there are a lot of little checks that you need to look for while disassembling in order to know how and what to proceed with in the rebuild
