its no problem as long as its done accurately, some of the parts will be poor its just a fact nowadays with low selling stuff, you might want to add valve guides unless your have old one lined

SHOULD be done accurately, i'm getting it done by a specialist, same for the head, it's gonna be fitted out by a specialist.
3 or 5 bearing block ? A couple of years ago I did a very old 3 bearing block and Craddocks where the only ones with correct main bearing shells. The location tag on the early ones is in a different place to later ones. So £10 set of shells goes up to £60.
Your £300 parts list is very cheap for the amount of parts, Iv'e just paid £120 for a motorcycle piston.
I think I mentioned before to leave the bottom skirt ring off the pistons if they come with them fitted. Pot luck from Paddocks I got two with ring and two without in one set.
