require a complete teardown of the engine. if hired about 1500 labor for a five, including resleeving, decking, skimming the head, cam chain and or guides for same rebuilding the oil pump, vac pump, valve job, valve guides, testing springs, and much more. not something to be done lightly as the parts are prob over 1000 now with the exchange rate. dont forget the r and r of the motor and prob motor mounts (optional) and misc other hoses belts etc.

its not the rings that cost you its the "while you're at it"s that cost the most.
