The rebuild is with orginal cam. pistons, and crank. I had the cams redone with the head. The shop also checked the crank and polished and balanced the crank so it was like new. I put new rings in the pistons which were cleand like new and disassembled the rods and wrist pins to clean and relube. All new bearings and seals of course.

The other key was checking all the tolerances with plasticgauge on the reassemble so I kew all the rod and crank surfaces were still perfect. Luckily the shop did not have take anything off to retrue the surfaces.

A engine rebuild kit with pistons was $500 and crank would have been another $150. My pistons and crank were like new so I saved the money
