how much to rebuild an S2000?
My engine has an internal ticking sound.... so while that is being found, i thought maybe i would have the thing rebuit. It shouldn't really need this since it only has about 9k miles total and 1500-2000 race miles.
Anyone have a ballpark what it would cost to do rings, all the bearings, valve job, valve seals, valve springs, retainers, keepers, a timing chain, tensioners, etc. etc.
I have a feeling all of this will add up to more than it would cost me to get a new engine.?
thanks for your input.

A new engine is around $8000 I believe. Would end up costing the same with the labor involved. I'd just get a new block and sell the old one with the ticking for cheap.

I'd look into a new shortblock, and rebuilding your existing head. The FRM bores are very difficult to hone, and you have very little room to overbore.
The costs of a new cylinder head are astronomical.

I am getting some quotes to either swap mine out and sell mine to someone who wants to play with it.... also some quotes to totally rebuild mine...probably pretty costly..... and a quote to just get in and fix that one bearing (but who knows what might go next).
I was hoping to pick up an engine for under $2-3k...??? we'll see...
