    how much for this machine work?

    i am getting an m52b28 crank for my 2.8l stroker and i was wondering how much do you guys think roughly i should expect to have the counterweights bobbed and balanced and cleaned up?

    hey bud, im doing the samething, I just got my M52b28 crank and m20b27 rods, I got a quote from a respectable machine shop for about $800, that's cutting down the counterweights, balancing, blueprinting and cutting down the block .25mm

    that's pretty much the ball park of doing it

      This job cost me around $75 for the crank counterweight cutting, and another $150 for balancing.

        $800 is an astronomical price.

        I don't know the exact prices off hand but we can have it done a lot cheaper here!

            cutting down the crank is usually $200-300 here. then add on cutting the block and my guy would charge me $300. but still $800 seems over priced.

              Ok. I can talk to my guy a see. Like I said. It's a rough estimate. I didn't get it done yet.

                blueprinting
                That might be a few hundred right there. It's pretty time- consuming.

                Figure $150- 200 for weights, $200 for balance, $100 for a block cut, and that leaves $300 for
                blueprinting. If that's the whole engine, that's a fair price.

                It all depends on what's getting done. Is the shop factoring in new fasteners in the
                blueprint? That'd do it right there...

                now, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves
