300se engine rebuild

What is usually involved?

I have been quoted $5k (AUD)

Do they change the internals or is it just rings and bearings?

I was just quoted US$400.00 (labor) plus parts and the cost to machine the head to do a head rebuild. As for a complete engine rebuild, I'm not sure. I got lucky and found an experienced MB mechanic that only charges $30.00 an hour.

What city is this mechanic in, seriously, I would drive to this mechanic if thier shop wasnt too far away, but then I guess the waiting list is a year long, they are booked solid until 2011?
