how hard is it and how much would it cost if i were to do it at my home? what sort of things would i need that are out of the ordinary?
does anyone know of a good video/manual for rebuilding engines?
thanks

If you are doing it before you blow it up then probably 700 if you have good housings and rotors. If you have bad components probably about 1k with an upgraded seal kit with bearings and such.

i would do it before it blows up once i suspect its dieing

are you talking in canadian dollars?

USD but they are just estimates and could change with differing needs for your engine. Engines can blow out of the blue so you may not get the chance to do it prior to that.

Video is VERY, VERY good. Detailed explanations on cleaning, tolerance checking, tear down and assemble.
