Am no guru... but...

really depends on what you change. If you get new cylinder head, block, crankcase, crankshaft, con-rod, clucth assembly, yeah... possibly...

Is $3K too low or too high in your opinion?

The only way to know if you have been overcharged is to ask for a detailed itemised breakdown of things done and replaced.

Agreed. Ask for detailed items being changed and compare to the XR price list here;

Or u can check on websites like ebay and do your conversion rate.

Again... what has been changed? The entire assembly can consist of the following major components:
- crankshaft
- con rod
- crankshaft bearings

In order to get to the crankshaft, the entire engine (top and bottom end) needs to be dismantled, which automatically means another $100 or so worth of gaskets and oil seals.

Most important which shop? Do let us know. If u think u have been overcharge , take it as a lesson and move on. Just avoid going to that shop again.
