You still have not given us a compression test result. That is the FIRST STEP!!
And the valves MUST be adjusted and the slack taken out of the cam chain before the compression test.
Any mechanic should know that.


Just because people around town said they knew
the mechanic does not make him the best choice.

I also do not like the fact that he did not give you the results of the compression test?
I do not like the fact that he quoted you a price without even seeing the damage to the engine if any.
He should give you a price for tear down THEN give you an estimate for parts and labor and machine shop services AFTER he inspects for damage,wear and broken parts,if any.

IT can easily cost more that $500-$700. Depends on what parts are needed and machine shop services.
Why pay hiim to run the parts to the machine shop? Do it yourself.

There is engine removal (You could do that yourself and save money)
