the price difference would be no where near the same...
if someone is going to charge you $500 odd to rebuild the top end then they my friend are taking you for a ride....
do some searching and see what parts are worth to repair your engine...
as a guess i throw some prices out...
rings 20
maybe a piston 40
gaskets 30
hone cylinder 25
labour...(what id charge) 75-100
hmmm

$75-$100 on labour? Thats alot I'ld only go $50.
Defenenly buy the parts and do it your self much much cheaper that way. I took a mates bike to a moto shop. They split the casing and ther charged him $100  He couldn't even get the bike out of the shop untill he payed it. Rip-offs thats what bike shops are.

Still. Alot. Shops are rip-offs. What type of tools do you need to hone?

uhmm a honing tool...lol about 60 for decent one
yeah it may sound like a rip off but some ppl just dont have the knowledge to do it...
and also you work out all the time and cleaning needed to do it properly...
and also it includes oil..

Hmm well people should learn to do these things. I'm going to learn how to hone, maybe. Oil is much $50 for decent oil. Not like the bike shop uses the best oil to replace what was in it 
Is this the honoing tool? 
there also this one:  |

top one in is a ball hone... they are good.
hard to tell the lower image
but here is the type wat i use... Toolmonger » Blog Archive » Hone Your Cylinders
if i was to buy another one it would be a ball hone but they are expensive...
basically all your doing is de-glazing the bore and you want to have a 45 degree cross hatch pattern finish..
putting new rings in a glazed bore is fixing much..

Some of those replies are pretty good but JB said Quote: |
This home would be fine to break glaze or find scalloping in the cylinder. However, a ball type hone will be the better choice to finish the cylinder with a 50-60 degree crosshatch pattern.
|
Is it better to finish with the 50-60 degree crosshatch pattern?
This is the pic enlargend.
