I'm no mechanic, but from what I've read in my Hayne's Repair Manual, a complete engine overhaul involves replacing piston rings, reboring or honning cylinder walls, replacing pistons (if the cylinders are rebored), replacing main and connecting rod bearings, regriding the crankshaft to restore the journals (if needed), and restoring the valves. Rebuilding parts like the starter, distributor, carburetor and alternator while the engine is being overhauled is common to ensure that the entire runs like new but isn't always necessary. Hope that answered your question to your satisfaction! And if you plan on going ahead with an engine overhaul, good luck and have fun!

What is a 72 pinto 2000cc engine worth?
Not much as there are very few Pintos left. But to a Pinto owner needing an engine it is worth something. I would think a good engine in perfect running order would be worth $1,000. An engine needing an overhaul would be worth $500. But that is just my opinion. Ask around local auto salvage yards and see what they are getting. If they have one. They are rare.
Is an engine overhaul expensive?
Oh yea. Depending on the vehicle and engine and needed repairs it could cost anywhere from $1000 to well past $3000, not including labor. In most cases, unless the vehicle is fairly new or valuable, it is much more cost effective to get a used engine, preferably with low miles, from a junk yard.
