Colin , you are definitely on the right track. I've rebuilt a couple of Speedy engines and a couple of Nippy ones. One customer chose to keep the original camshaft so I used an unsleeved block the others have all had a Kent Cams fast road modified standard camshaft fitted. With these I have machined a phosphor bronze bush and suitable rollers.
I would recommend not using the original rods as they have a design fault and are invariably worn.
As Colin says you can push out and replace liners if necessary.
Good luck with the rebuild.
