the kits are not bad really bearings are the same thing from napa autozone etc ACL AND KING
oil pumps are the same as napa napa buys in bulk from china i know cause i use the same suppler for regs
never had a issue with the pistons as there either ycp or npr
no issue with the rings either
99% of this kit you can get from autozone/napa/carquest for double the price in a diffrent box but still the same parts
