What's an accurate amount of time for a shop to break down a motor, re-grease the crank bearings and put in new pistons and cylinders?
Shop time to rebuild 800 R motor?

Nobody?!
Oh well. Motor is going to Tom's tomorrow. It sucks spending money on my back up sled like this but what the heck!

Around 10-14 hrs... the tech would get much less if it was warranty work, a good shop will price you a crank R&R and add some overlap for the jugs and pistons. Just remember techs tend to lose there a** on warranty work for the most part, so they look to make some of it up with cash tickets....

1.5 hrs. is what the shop I used charged. Now I just have to find the time to get it back in the sled and tend to everything else before the snow flys.
If I had to do it over again I most likely would have just paid the shop to do it all. Only because I'm very busy at work and have limited extra tikme right now. On the other hand I am glad I did do it the way I did because now I have a better understanding of how my sled works and how to address other items if they come up.
