How much does it cost?

Well my Warrior doesn't start very well when hot and it feels like it's a little down on power compared to a new one so I was wondering how much a rebuild costs. Are most dealers or engine builders the same?

I would shop around. Do as much of the work yourself as you feel comfortable. Some guys and dealers will take you to the cleaners. Be careful.

A simple rebuild (piston, rings, gaskets) will cost ya about $100 in parts, depending which route you go. A shop charges about $55 an hour (here) for labor, and they will probably charge you a minimum of 3 hours labor.

My brother had a P.O.S. shop do a full rebuild(botom and top end) on his motor and it cost like 1800 dollars.
At a real place it would have cost like 3400!!

I don't think a new piston, rings and gaskets would be hard to do put in yourself though. If you have the tools. Plus with the money you save on labor, you can mod your engine while it's apart.

on a warrior i would do the top end work myself because with a clymer manual its very easy to do (as long as you take the motor out of the frame, other wise its a real B!TCH n a 1/2), i've tore apart my top end and i only regret leaving the motor in the frame because of the position of the head, you'll know why if you try the same.
