I think fully assembled you're around 800+ lbs. Please don't ask me how the Chinese can rate that garbage the way they do. It's damn near illegal, if not just outright misleading.
Ok. If you're tearing down the engine yourself,
1. Have the bare block acid dipped.
2. Measure the cylinders to see if they need to bored (.030 max) or just honed.
3. Measure the journals on the crank to see if they need to be turned or polished.
4. Until you do #2 & 3, you haven't a clue yet on what to do with the rotating train.
5. I seriously doubt your shop is set up for sonic checking, line boring, and decking. Save your money. You're not building a 10 second bracket racer...
6. Have HIM install new cam bearings and freeze plugs.
7. It's NOT worth trying to do a valve job. A shop doing it is no more expensive.
8. Your seats are already hardened so just ask for a std. valve job.
9. Buy your cam, new lifters, and valve components as a matched set. (A Comp Cam matched kit is just one example. There are many). Then give him the valve components for the valve job.
