It will NEVER be ONLY the price of the halfcut. It will balloon pretty quickly unless you tell your mech.. "just install everything as it is, rosak/worn out or not"i can say for most people trying to save money with that method that they end up buying the halfcut, and then SPENB SOMEMORE on sparepart replacement.If you want to maintain reliability, and power is not foremost, then I'd suggest to OVERHAUL it. It will be close to, and might exceed the price of the halfcut, but you end up with NEW parts in an OLD ENGINE, rather than the halfcut method, where you end up with OLD PARTS in an OLD ENGINE. Seems like a pretty obvious choice to me.Then again, in recent times, I think the WALLET will dictate your actions, isn't it?I just got through a RM852 a/cond overhaul.. lol. I know the financial pains. :P I remember it used to be like 500-600 tops.. LOL. The reason why halfcuts were used as a solution when having engine trouble is due to inexperienced mechanics, or owners who think they can get away with cheaper repairs.Inexperienced mechanics because it saves them time troubleshooting and fixing the problem, and owners, for obvious financial reasons.</blockquote>
