If you're going to tear into it, you're going to
build it. First there's the pistons. But are you
really going to hang them on the cast rods?
Now you have new rods/pistons. Are they the
same weight as the old stuff? Might as well
balance it. And have the crank checked. Was
the break-in enough to assure trouble free
miles with the used cam? Is this particular
grind even the one you want?

You're either rolling the dice and buying a
runner, or you're buying a core. Bird in the
hand, or two in the bush. Eight relief pistons
aren't the end of the world, you just don't
want to settle for them when you have far
better choices. But that bridge has already
been crossed.
