This is my quote from Harris Engine Services (near GCGs) 7MGTE ring replacement:
190 Copper Head Gasket
240 O/Haul gasket set
120 rings
90 main brgs
47 rod brgs
12 thrust brgs
30 oil
18 oil filter
25 coolant
65 o'ring block
50 linish crank
60 hone block
50 chem clean
420 service cyl head and set tappets
400 strip engine, wash layout measure and assemble
550 R and R engine from vehicle (can be saved if engine is already removed).
gst 236.70
total 2603.70
This is a great itemised quote, Don't quote any of the figures please as its off my fax and I'm not sure if I should be publishing them. Use as a guide only.

have you tried repco.. i'm no expert when it comes to the price of those things, but repco is the place to go for aftermarket parts. give them a go.
but i do know rings, bearings and everything else is expensive, but it shouldn't be that expensive.

Heyah. The price you are quoting is that just the supply of parts or are you quoting for someone to pull out you engine and do the job.
If it is a pull out and they do similar to the breakdown given above then this is about right.
If they are just going to put in new bits then you are being ripped as it will fail quickly.
Use the breakdown as a refernce and get it items. or go to another company.
The work in the breakdown is extensive and well priced.
I would maybe go to them and also asked for some sort of warranty on the work as they should cover doing it all again.
As you have paid for it all.

As a small aside, Repco made many of the original equipment parts for the australian built Corollas. CV joints and the like.
just thought i'd share...

I was quoted about $460 (from memory) for a genuine gasket kit alone by Toyota and that was trade price. Rings and bearings can't cost another $1500.

I would most definitely not buy genuine toyota parts, it's just too expensive, I can't give a quote, but parts from some kind of aftermarket supplier would be way cheaper, and probably of similar quality - depending how much you are willing to part with.
A copper head gasket isn't that expensive, probably under $200 from some place like Ridgecrest (?) and they are pretty good quality, my dad/bro use one in their rally car.
