We won't know the total cost until completion.

I had fantasized about $130 for twelve head studs and around $200 for a top end gasket set but I knew all along that I'd have serious 'as long as I'm in there' temptations. Still, the only major new parts will be valves, guides, seals...piston rings...plus head studs and gaskets and materials like Loctite. I'm keeping my clutch disk and other parts. I'll use factory one-piece oil return tubes.

I like powder coated surfaces too, but I'm afraid to try this on the magnesium fan and housing.
