Rebuilding 6V92

[ronmarabito2002]

That 15K does not include removal and reinstall. I chose to do an
in-frame overhaul. Total cost at 23K, but it was done in Canada.
Might have been a little cheaper here, but I doubt it very much. Mine
was complete with new heads, new blower, cylinder kits, etc. They
kept the block and crank. I had 190,000 miles on it. Since mine was
an 8V92 yours might be a little less.

If yours was shut-down just after starting, I doubt that yours was
damaged like mine. Mine was up at full temperature and seized up
because of no way to dissipate the heat in the engine. There did not
appear to be any cost saving by purchasing a re-built and it would
have taken 6 weeks to get one.
