yeah- it's a bit expensive for a rebuild don't you think?

I rebuilt my BMW M20 6 cylinder for less than that, and those parts are damn expensive compared to an a12! Mind you don't go to Repco for one a those- they'll tell you $10000 changeover.

I guess it all comes down to what you can do yourself, but when we rebuilt our a12 for the 1200, it cost around $400 including getting the head faced, valves cut, and a hone on a stock bore.

Picking up an already worked a12 is a damn good idea - you will save a lot this way!
