The little end bearings are only around 20 quid for the set from GGR, they then need pressing in a reaming out size. That lot plus all the gaskets you'll need and as its in bits you may as well chuck in a new set of rings if the bore condition permits imo.

Are you sure its little ends tho and not just piston slap?

Very unlikely that you would hear little ends if worn.
A lot of cossies rattle when cold espoecially 2wd as they used a DIFFERENT WRIST PIN(GUDGEON PIN) OFFSET TO 4WD, which were redesigned for quiter running when cold to alleviate this problem.
As a consequence of this they suffer piston slap when cold, mine is terrible when cold sounds like a MASSEY FERGUSON!!
Piston slap is in no way harmful(if only when cold), it is much more likely to be the tappets losing oil overnight and just jacking up in the first start of day.
