I just had the 10 dowels added to my block. Cost was $480USD. All labor and equipment charges. They charge $100 per hour on the CNC machine. If you ask me it cost a bloody fortune. That comes out to $48 per hole. I expected around $250 to $300 total. Seems everything is costing double what I thought it would. Next is to have the block align honed and then as soon as the aluminum clutch is built I will have all the parts balanced. Taking both engine blocks to my regular engine builder and machine shop tomorrow. This is the shop that will align hone the block and balance all the parts. Should I have them true up the surfaces that come together between the MBC and the Block? I need them also to move all my engine bolts from my old engine to my new engine. Anything I am forgetting?

Just a reminder this is a 2.2L upgrade.
