Hello,

We rebuild 3-4 Volvo B18/B20 engines every year. Most of the time we install them, but on occasion we ship them.

Right now we're in the middle of building a B18 and a B20.

It is not cheap to do a thorough rebuild. We charge $3000.00 for a basic stock rebuilt B18 or B20 and below is a list of parts and operations that are done during 1 of our normal engine rebuilds.
