1) I did read the entire thread. 2) My question is relevant and was not meant to be a flame. 3) As you can see, he is defending his opinion of it being a good deal as seen in the quote above. 4) Why ask people if it's a good deal if you are going to insist it is anways? (This is a rhetorical statement. What's done is done.)

i was trying to compare for drone51 my price to his like everyone has stated he was talking about only 3 parts and i was talking about the whole bottem end of the engine so my deal compared to his is a good deal he even said that later after he look over what i said early and yes my deal is better compared to his duh anyon could see that

I dont really understand why or believe they would put a brand new cam, pistons and rods in there. More than likely hes building it to "like new" specs. Which from what you are saying will be a lot of machining, basically labor, and then a decent amount of bearings, rings, gaskets and seals etc. If he tells you he is using all new parts, and you believe him, then fine. I doubt it. The only one who will really know what parts get replaced is the builder. I would more likely believe that a lot of the stock parts are going back in and he is saving you money by doing that.

If you trust him though, the 900 doesent sound bad for the labor and all those "new" parts.
