<br />however if its a non saltwater model they can be rebuilt by an average tech that will read the manual before and during the process s as to have an understanding of what is going on.the two common causes of piston failure is lack of lubrication from running clogged carbs and overheat. make sure you identify why it failed and fix that part as well.<br />if your block is repairable and the crank and rods are reusable and the motors is not a saltwater model then you can do a first class rebuilt for about 800 or so in parts and machine work. <br /> I would allow the machine shop to bore itfirst then tell you what size pistons to buy. there are many good suppliers of aftermarket pistons and such for that motor.<br /> what part of the world are you in ?<br />if I know anyone about there I can try to help. 2500 is about rightfor a v4 but a tad high on a 3cyl butthe labor costs in various regions can eat that up. but then I dont have the estimate and that may include other maint work as well. all my rebuilds start with a teardown of the power head and gearcase. then I estimate from there.
