Did you tear the engine apart? what exactly is wrong with your engine? broken apex seals, smoking, coolant seals(over heating boiling coolant) break it down for us..

super easy, the cost of the motor will vary with the condition of the parts you have to start with. for example, if the rotors are out of spec you need new ones etc. minimum you should do rotor housings, and all of the seals and gaskets

Well lets start by pricing everything out. I mean every part.

You can subtract from the total what you don't need to replace.

Let me round it all up. I'll get it up by tomorrow.
