!. Pistons w/rings 500 ---- OK
2. Rods 300 ---- OK
3.Oil Pump 100 ---- OK
4. Bearings 100 ---- OK
5. Master Gasket Set 250 --- OK
6.Timing belt 60 --- Whole new timing belt kit installed 200 miles ago. Belt, tensioners, cogs, pulleys, water pump, thermostat
7. Plugs 30 --- Also brand new 200 miles on them
8. I assume you have a Torque Wrench ? A nice one
9. Valve Springs 200 OK
10. Head work, this is for either way you go 500 OK
11.Hone torque plate 130 I don't know what this is but I'll figure it out
12.You might need to get the Total Timing belt kit - Unless it got trashed I should be good.
13.Bore Gauge 150 --- OK
14. Mic set from 2'' to 6'' 150 ---- OK
15.Fugi Bond 40 ---- OK.


I'm sure there's something I'm over looking but I just woke up. I think that's it beside the water pump and pulley's that come in the timing belt kit. Also don't for get either way you go you still need the oil pump,water pump and timimg belt with pulley's, gasket set and head work.
So about $2700 give or take if I include some headwork and the engine puller and work stand from Harbor Freight.

And at this price point it's unlikely to spin another rod bearing at 60k?
