Sounds fine. Make him drop the pan for you so you can make sure it has what he says

Receipts for machine work or walk away.

How are you going to know if its been honed?Micropolished? Have the bearings been sized properly?

If he claims he did it himself, walk away. Sizing bearings properly is extremely difficult unless you are meticulous and own some nice tools. Although some will argue that 'slapping bearings in' is fine, paying for a shortblock isn't worth it unless it was done right.

Good luck! I have heard of the brand 'king', I got a headgasket for my 89 DA, its holding up fine
