Many people don't understand this. Paying a labor rate for the actual time it takes to clean old/existing parts & then rebuild can cost you almost as much as simply purchasing new upgraded/updated items.

For your situation, that was a WISE choice.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
