Right on!
If you plan to do that much work in 4 days you need some friends, and lots of caffiene, chips and Pizza. Please be careful and work safe!
Have fun,

RE: my stuff came!
Are you getting any machine work done? ie HotTanking align boring etc. You might want to consider not so much of a marathon session
to be sure your rebuilding on a solid and square base. I would just hate to see all that hard work and money go down the tube. But good luck with whatever you decide.

Yeah, and if you want to save some money, you don't have to get it align bored, just get it tanked machined and have the crank polished or ground if needed. If the crank need work, I would not go more then .005 - .010 MAX..
