    good to see other ppl working non vtec engines,
    i know wat u mean when u dont wanna do a stragiht conversion, being unique
    i rebuilt my b18a, with similar ideas.
    that cost me 1500 from a engine rebuild place for balancing,new pistons, rings, boring, bearings, cleaned out oilwells. I bought a rebuild kit from the states for 600 that came with everything, but we kinda failed at checking the cylinders, so technically i rebuilt it twice, but that original kit, had my oil pump, water pump and other things.
    soo it would prob come to 1800 for the rebuild of the block only.
    also i took the block out of the car
    and gave them as is, and then block returned to me, so no labour costs in that.

    Hope that helps

    Also high compression ideas that may help, when u take ur head off which will happen, u can shave the head, which will raise compression
    If you dont want to sleeve, dont bore much just bore a little to smoothen cylinder, then stroke it alot safer for block,
    Get ur block tested for cracks first too.
    Also rebuilding engine is good time to get lightened flywheel, then get that balanced.
    Which is wat i did spins soo much freely after rebuild then it did before.

    Although i heavily agree with you, the OP is just after information regarding the cost of an engine rebuild, not opinions....
