$550 unit engine
$655 pre-unit
Yeah...
I sent pretty clean parts (just not funky) and it was a good bit less for a unit motor... Just don't make them burn time removing a ton of grime. ( I had a local job shop run them through the automatic parts washer a couple of times... for like $30 and got them back fully degreased.) And I didn't send in the covers... those got wet sanded and polished... no need to vapor blast if you are polishing really.
If shipping had been a little cheaper (I'll ship on my own dime next time) it would have really been reasonable.
