Hm, with no experience of rebuilding myself, I can only tell you what I've researched online:
New bearings - even if you might be able to make do, why not spend the extra couple of dollars
Pistons- if the bike needs to be bored at all (not sure if they do that...) you may need new pistons.
Rings- might as well swap those out too

I'm not positive, but I believe you'll need new bolts for the rods (not sure on this one, but I'm pretty sure they stretch and are meant for one time use only)

Also, I've heard the tolerances for internals on these parts is miniscule, might want to look in to that, and see if any machine shops can give you the accuracy you're looking for.


As for the head, I may have an extra head from an '01 TT600 that I won't need. Also an extra block (i bought it and it threw a rod through the side of the block, so i bought a new one thinking i would rebuild it)

After my research, I found it would be way cheaper and way easier to buy a used engine from a wrecked bike. I found an entire frame/engine/harness/ecu/etc/subframe/swingarm/rear brakes/tire for $500 locally. Pretty much an entire '04 Daytona 600 with 900 miles and no forks (no title either)
