The shop I use to resurface I only pay around $30, but I get a good deal cause I always use them. I wouldnt expect to pay more than $100 to get it resurfaced

lol but are you really gonna want an Audi that only cost $2000?

In any event, replacing the motor would be better than rebuilding it IMO, there are plenty of them laying around. The Russian still has his from the V8 swap he did, PM him about a price
