The bank account thing, you are 100% right. But to think that you "need" X parts and don't need V, W, Y, Z parts... here is the mistake.

Either get a mortgage and buy the "additional" parts such as sleeves, studs, new fabbed cams, valves.......... or don't do it at all...
I haven't assembled the built motor yet. Ran out of funds getting the parts. I still need the heads and crank worked, and the studs. I've got a stack of boxes in my garage that are full of parts. I was just making a general observation of tuner experiences. Not specifically our cars.
