Extrude-hone requires removal of the intake/head/exhaust/trubo from the
engine, so it's not so simple. 5-cylinder parts run around ~$400-700 per
part if memory refresh is working at all these days, so it's not cheap
either! One can get a better price by working with a shop that gets the
shop discount from Extrude-Hone Vs the "over the counter" end-looser
price. They do match the ports and flow-test the parts before and after,
so you do get what you pay for labor-wise. My engine builder has not yet
decided if he wants to EH any of the parts for the KuQEFH project. We
wait and wait and wait and wait....... Oh, I've given up on having the
new engine installed before the snow flies, so I bit the bullet and
installed the new alt, starter and oil-cooler lines so I could again
drive the ur-Q, although still with a cracked exh manifold, but it runs
GREAT and I'm back in the saddle again!
