Rene have you considered having the engine machine work done here in the USA and then shipped a parts to you? Based upon your request it appears that you prefer to check and assemble the engine yourself. This is the route that I took (minus the overseas shipping). I had all the machine work such as Sonic check bores, Bore/Hone Cylinders, Aligh hone mains, balance rotating assembly, etc. done locally in So Cal. Once all the machine work was done I mocked everything up to check things such as bearing clearances etc. I even did the George Pence recommended lifter bore bushing / oil restrictor modifications. The engine has been on the road for the last 5 years with no problem. Just my 2 cents.
