Just built my engine up with a mate of mine at his garage, my head work including skim, bronze guides, 3 angle seats and all new valves was £400, had everything else so apart from bearings and seals it cost nothing else, I'd never pay 3k plus they are so basic you may as well just buy another engine and part the old one out
Then you will never own a well build reliable YB. My mate more than any single person causes problems in re-builds. Then again my mates mate is also not good
. They are so basic every day you read of problems on this site so basic that most project end with selling up. There are Tuners out their that made there name by building good reliable & sometimes powerfull YB's. Of course you & your mate know better.
