not questioning anyone on the oil pump or timing set but is there a deficency in the stock parts at this level or is it more of an insurance thing?

pushrods - $100
rockers - $200 (if you're lucky you have some with the heads)
cam - $300
timing set - $200 (atleast $100 for a decent chain)
oil pump - $100

Has your crank been machined at all?

I am probably going to have to have my crank turned .010.

I'm wondering how durability is going to suffer in relation to machine work done.

thanks
