If you're talking $$ - I'm not exactly sure. I have done this over several months and I have probably lost track of a few items along the way. I know that I spent $350 on the cylinder head/valve job. Everything else I did and I spent between $800 and $1000 on parts - which includes piston rings, main bearings, connecting rod bearings, engine block gasket set, cylinder head gasket set, all new gears, timing chain and guide rails, new hoses, coolant bypass tube, new plugs, and various and sundry bolts, nuts, sealant, etc.

Not bad overall, but my block/cylinders were in good shape - downside was the time it took as everything was pretty much a first-time experience for me, and I found myself 'backtracking' numerous times. Fortunately, I had some good local help and the advice on this board was very helpful.
