Jon, you can wait for the machine shop to tell you what you need and lost one or two extra weeks before getting the job done or you can save big money and time doing the disassembly part, taking your measurements and ordering your rebuilt kit from EB for dirt cheap. Then your bring the block, the crank, the rebuilt kit and the valves if you want the machine shop to do that for you too and you save some precious waiting time.
Machine shop quote for rebuilt kit is let say...insane sometime and a cylinder boring and crankshaft grinding cost me $300 loonies, for the K321 I did, imagine if I let them do all the job for me...So a boring tool is not just a luxury tool for me, even a simple telescopic set can be useful.
Tell me Jon, do you check the bore and condition of a cylinder each time you open one of those engine to do a valves or just a head gasket job? I bet you do, if you don't I never let you work on my engine.
