Question ENGINE RE-BORE

Right guys,ive had a bit of a bargain and picked up an EJ20 engine for next to nothing complete with crank,2 sets of rods,heads ect. The only problem is that one of the pistons melted and has scored the cylinder liner so would need a re-bore (i think) Im only looking to get that done so i can sell the bottom end off because i only really want the heads off it.
So does anyone know the rough cost of a re-bore?

Try Huxtables or Swansea Autos both very good and pretty sure it'll be cheaper than £150

I second the above. Huxtables is the best, Swansea are very good and quick but I been told that they're a little messy. In other words you'd need to get the block cleaned before the rebuild
