Thanks for everyone's comments ! The history: I've had car for 15 years. Engine ran fine. Then started smoking like crazy. Guy said engine was rebuilt before I bought it - but couldn't produce paperwork - so I don't know.
Seems most rebuild kits on web include: Pistons , Piston rings, Rod bearings, Main bearings, Cam bearings, Gasket set, Camshaft, Lifters, Timing set, Oil pump, Freeze plugs
I hate to move engine to another machine shop - but $2,500 without replacing cam, lifters, and timing set bugs me.
I have another shop committing to $2,200 and including all the new parts listed above.
Nothing is easy.....
