Re: engine rebuild

well budget i paid 400 for the engine so i only wanted to put in about anouther 1200-1500 i was lookin at some topend kits that come with cam, rockers and all that good stuff for about 900 then a rebuild kid for 300 but that sounds a bit low for a rebuild kit? but then there are whole kits that summit offers that comes with rebuild and a came and a few other things its my 1st rebuild so i want to have enjoy it so that why im not in a rush to jus throwing parts in.
