Default update on 147 project

just got the block back from the mower shop. block was honed, valve job was done along with cut seats, guides were knurled, and the crank pin was cleaned up. i also got new valves, piston, rings, gasket set, connecting rod and anything else required to put it back together. everything was also properly cleaned and throughly degreased. everything was also measured to assure that it is correct and proper. the whole thing cost me 400 bucks, but i should have an engine that should last many years. i was told to use assembly lube when i put it back together and break it in with 30W oil with zinc. im going to start re-assembly soon and should have a running engine soon. i know its going to be a k301 and that the tractor orginally had a k321, but the original block was destroyed. i hope i didnt get hosed on the price of the work, i know that this type of machining work doesnt come cheap.
