I dont think you can get the same 'warantee' deal from a local
rebuilder.
If the local rebuilder has the capacity to do micro-boring and
micro-polishing then and only then would the local rebuilder produce a
better engine rebuild.
Obviously Moyer has the highest expertise with A4s

Isn't Moyer having new blocks custom cast for around four grand? It
strikes me that you could do worse given the enormous number of spares
still available.

Huh. A "new" A4.

The possibility of finding another 1 cheap is not that far fetched,
I've had 2 of them given to me, one with less than 100 hrs. SMOH, by,
as you put it, people who just had to have a diesel...

He offers new castings for flywheel covers, flywheel housings, aft
housings for the reversing gear and oil seal covers... I dont think
he's included a 'block' at this time. I really 'dont know' but a call
to him would answer such. His rebuilt blocks are running about $4K.
