yeah i was quoted $1500, mates rates, for a rebuild, but like he said to me theres absolutely no way you could get a real quote on a rebuild for a 25yr old engine... the bore could be in good condition, if its not you gotta get new pistons and rebore it, the oil pump could be shot, and theres the added extras like "while you got the head off... you might aswell get new cams, port and polish, blue-printed, etc...."
I've talked to people that have spend around $2000, almost stock rebuild, and they were happy with what they got.
I came to the conclusion that the parts for these engines were fairly cheap (like use 2T parts where applicable), and if i was ever to get a 2TG rebuilt i would DIY, much cheaper, its not worth spending over $1500 for a 25yr old engine, you could buy a recently recond, slightly worked complete 2TG for less. if you wanted reliability go for something newer (4AGE).
I've got a spare 2T in the shed to practise on, and i've got the repair manual for them (if anyone needs a page scanned i could probably do it).
