Sorry didn't read this post until today, these people are top notch imho, I bought everything to fully rebuild my engine from them without any issue at all. This was 5 years ago probably now but still I would buy from them in a heartbeat if I needed anything. IMHO, you must buy the correct over sized piston kit after you have measured your block. Also checked your cylinders for irregular distortion as in waves in the walls of the cylinders. Mine was terrible. Luckily the only kit they had was 3 over as it took that much to correct the cylinders. I agree it seems people think these cars and or mechanical parts are gold plated used which is resulting in so many getting crushed.  I also agree with buying all new internal parts IF you have the funds. imho the end result will be an engine that will outlast the rest unless you pay the same attention to rust issues. Keep up the good work and keep posting.
