If you are finding things you are not happy with one can only presume you will find more as you dig deeper.
Paying to have the engine built is not an option, so I shall be doing it myself, seeking guidance when I can. The whole engine is now apart and, to be honest, there does not seem to be too mcu that is really bad about it; more, a number of irritating things: the missing oil pressure relief valve, the valves which all had different size, over-sized stems and three big ends with shells and one with white metal. The rest seems to be just wear and tear. So far.............

"over-sized stems and three big ends with shells and one with white metal."
I wouldn't have said that these are minor 'bad' things
