That's a good price considering the warranty. Here's an alternative, but I don't know the quality - add $500 or so for machine shop work on your block/crank/heads and choose your poison.

Individual buys can be made for pistons, rings, bearings, etc., but will likely total more than the price of the kit in the end.
