That's one of the reasons it's only worth $2000!

Could be cheaper, but if you have not had the chain coverted to the double type, that will need to be done, and if you have seriously worn valves, you need to replace them along with guides and seals, so with labor....

If you don't need cams and rockers, it's much cheaper.
