Mild, It's quite obvious you won't truely know until you actually take them apart and see what parts may need replacing that you may not have expected, and then of course it can/will directly affect your costs unexpectedly.

Re: cost to freshen

also depends on how much wrenching you want to do yourself to save money. You can bring them the long block minus all the acc and have them do the work....then when its all done, pick it up and put all the acc back on and bring it back again for dyno tuning etc....
