I build a few for people, but I don't do many. My back don't hold out to well after all mt wrecks and stuff, so I try to keep major jobs to a minumum. I know that 2.4L is an expensive one to build if it needs to be bored. The 2.4L's have chrome bores, and you can't bore them. The last I checked it was almost $600 to have a cylinder re-chromed, or $200 to have a sleeve put in. Have you pulled the heads to see how bad it is yet? I know you can buy 2.4L complete engines for less than the parts that go into a rebuild.
