All depends on what parts you have now, and what you need to buy or get machined?
Valves (normal size or oversize?)
Collets/Cotters (Depending on the valves fitted)
Top Caps
Valve guides (if they need to be replaced at a shop)
Valve springs
Unleaded seats
Rocker assembly

Minis have been climbing in price for a while. They've pretty much doubled in the last 1-2 years.
