I have never done a complete engine rebuild on anything bigger than a 22 HP, 2 cylinder Onan. But when I can I negociate what labor will cost first then mention that I would like to provide parts if I know I can get them right. Some shops will accept, some will not. If they will not I weigh the value of them vs. me doing the job and go from there. I am speeking of automotive service here and I HATE working on vehicles of all kinds. Most of the time I say "go ahead an fix it right, pay for it later."
Though I do enjoy tractors and equipment. Maybe it has something to do with not having to lay underneath or crawling into an engine compartment under the hood (usually ends in OUCH!) Do not be embarassed to ask if you can provide parts if you intend on buying quality parts. I know some mechanics do not like customer parts because if a customer provides cheap parts and they fail, guess who the customer blames??? The mechanic, they have to cover their butt.
