The crank has a little damage to one thrust surface but the journals are still smooth. At the very least I will get it ground one undersize and they will have to fix the thrust. It would probably also be wise to have them align bore or hone the main bearing saddles and resize the rod big ends. Other than that I plan to put in new rings and all new bearings (including the cam bearings. The front one is showing some copper.). The heads had been rebuilt a year or so ago and should be OK, though I may have them install new stem seals again. I would also like to get new lifters. Maybe I should just get a new rotating assembly as you suggested.
