Note that labor charges vary in different parts of the country. I just had 
a 199 done last September and the shop that did the work charged $65 to 
clean and inspect the entire engine (I brought them everything except the 
water pump, thermostat housing, distributor, and fuel pump) and $175 to 
bore and hone the cylinders. They also charged $50 to swap pistons on the rods.
