We're speaking of manufactured parts right & not home built? I wouldn't buy a cheap flip-kit just like I wouldn't trust just anyone welding new spring perches to a housing tube. And you can rip OE or 'retro-fit' perches off when they're not welded correctly.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
