what are you paying for cylinder boaring? per hole?..just wanna know the goin rate?

 

[Mr.Pete]

Don't make this choice on price alone.Go for quality.
If they use a torque-plate,and know what to torque it at (not the cold torque used for assembly),that's an indication of quality.

Just paid $40 a hole. First set I had done in years so I really don't know if that's the going rate.

torque plates are a must for the bore, but the finish hone for fitmet size is most important. as already stated above. ((go with someone you trust)). 30.00 - 40.00 a jug
with the time, equipment involve and consumables thats a bargin...

I payed $100 for a 650 jug local and I felt like it was to much. what exactally you talkin about on the torque plates? holding the jug in place while machining?

 

[indawaitinroom]

we usually charge $50 to bore and hone a cylinder. so a 650 twin would be $100.

if its a big bore usually $65 per cylinder because of the additional passes it takes in the borring bar. (additional wear on the tooling)

if we have to replace sleeves, its $125 to account for the double setup time, and cost to run the oven.

and yes, we use torque plates.

Sounds like the whole country is on the same page on these prices. We are right in line with those also and do the torque plate honing also.
