I would charge Oz $500 for a loose motor strip down & rebuild + the parts below, so find a local mechanic to do your motor at home.

So if you pull your motor out a Bike shop would charge around $800 to $1000 labour. + the below parts.

It took 5 min to get the below prices, if I look harder I am sure I could find the rest.
