Hi Kent. Thanks for contacting us today. Unfortunately, internal engine rebuild service is not one our mobile mechanics offer. Installing new pistons, rings, connecting rods and others requires machining the engine block first, which is something that should be done in a professional shop. You might want to contact a local engine rebuild shop in your city to inquire about pricing, as there are multiple variables that impact the cost.
