Cost to re-ring short block

I am shopping around to get the best price from Houston machine shops. I have stripped an N-14 down to the short block (crank and pistons still intact) and need to get new rings and have the crank tolerances checked.

I was recommended to a local shop by the local Mini dealer but the quote to do this $850 (labor only - I'm to bring in my own parts!)

Is this typical for just a re-ring? It sounds REALLY high.

What prices are others getting for this work?

I bought my own rings and did the work in the basement

Same here

Looks like I’m doing the same now. machine shop was going to take 4 months to do it but only 1 week for machining. I ordered the Bentley and started a rebuild thread.
