If they're anything like the 22R a friend of mine bought lat last year,it'd be wise to stay away. his wore the cam lobes off in 3 months...

Stuff out of china is a bit hit and miss. it all depends on who's doing the QA signoff. if it's an offshore-based company,you might be ok,if it's the little chinese company doing it themselves,you're much more likely to have trouble.

Have you tried a local shop to rebuild your own engine yet?

What's the matter with the block? if the bores are worn out and have been bored beyond what oversized pistons are available it could be sleeved and decked to bring it back from the dead.

a split bore could also be fixed by sleeving.
