Full rebuild:
Heads - 1200-3000 $500-$1000 depending on how much of the assembly you do
New Rings - 250 YUP
New Rod Bearings - 200 YEAH
New Main bearings - 300 $200 actually
Resize big end of rods - 100 possibly?
New small end bushings - 150 possibly?
Coat pistons to reuse - 400 not necessary
Redo Alsuil bores (optional) 400 again not something i needed to do
Seals - 500 yeah
(Optional) - Drill crank for better oiling - 750 Not necessary but i would do it the next time i rebuild an engine just for piece of mind
(Optional) - Balance - 500 If you do any crank or piston machining then yes its a given, but if you just reseal then its not necessary either
And no, I won't add that up. I don't want to know.

Thats why I said "Full rebuild"
And 500-1000 - thats not a very good estimate for doing it properly. Chamber cuts, valve spring testing, etc take time. I know how to do it wrong, and I know how to do it right. 16V heads are not cheap. You can't just bring them to anybody.

my price for heads was to have seats installed in the exhaust side, and 32 valves cut and 32 seats cut. And this price came from one of if not the most well known 928 engine rebuilders. I didnt make this up.
I was going to reassemble (and disassemble too), and the price was $500. I think its safe to say that they can cost more then $1000, but i dont think a whole lot more then that. I dont think it costs $3,000 to have heads rebuilt. Maybe if you go to larger valves and aftermarket seats and so on and so forth, but thats not rebuilding heads, thats a whole other turkey.
The car in question is a 32V BTW

I respectfully disagree.
most machine shops can handle 16V or 32V heads without any issues, as long as you are looking for a standard refresh.
race porting, 5 angle valve grinds, bigger valves, unshrouding, port matching, spring matching, and anything else you can think of.... is not work that I would trust to just any machine shop---with that I would agree.
and yes, 16V heads are cheap. a set of Euro's were here last week for $500 (?)
I have several pairs (of various flavors)..........need some?
