My SA200 is leaking oil from front and rear seals. Will probably put
an
additive in there, but am not expecting a lot. Has anyone rebuilt one
of
these four bangers? Doesn't look like anything complicated. I've
rebuilt
about half a dozen V-8's in my life, the old 283/327 Chevies. Parts
seem
to
be available, probably even from NAPA.

Ideas appreciated. I know it will cost a bit, but compared to a new
one,
it
will be less, and I like this old gal. If the back half checks out, I
may
spring for it. I'm guessing $500. Anyone know the real price?

$500 for what? The seals? $75 at most for all the seals you are gonna
need and then some.

Gasket set, new mains, seals, rod bearings. Might as well go through it
while it's apart.

Thx. My $500 SWAG was close. By the time I replace everything I want to
do, I'll probably be in it $750.
