    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.
