Well that says enough for me.

I understand all the other parts, but rebuilding any engine to a performance level is going to require pistons, rods, cams, and heads. I can see these special parts are all going to cost more, but how much more seems to be more based on what can they get you to pay rather than what does it cost to produce it. I can see 33% or so more actual cost to cast a head and machine cam journals, but a piston shouldn't cost 25% more. A taller round dome just isn't rocket science. It shouldn't be all that more costly to machine a cam with less journals. Just my opinion, and that is quite worthless, I know.
