At least you know the engine is going to be fresher than anything you would have bought second hand though ... Similar to how well Aza's went when he got his back...

Sadly, even if a car is well maintained, it will always loose a bit of performance once the K's stack on...

A rebuild is when something breaks and you need to 'rebuild' it

Reconditioning is preventative maintenance...

That assembly still seems a tad higher than what I would have thought...

Probably easier I just quote my "wow, just wow" post from earlier...

Although a while ago ...

I had my Evo engine reconditioned, and forged internals done for about 5K... Granted it is a 4 banger, with more access to parts...

Reconditioning is replacing all the internal parts with new ones; ie reco alternator = old alt with new internals...

Fixed

Preventative maintenance is just servicing.

Now, one would assume I click on the S3 option, correct? -

Crank (need x4) - http://www.camskill.co.uk/m3b0s9p7636/M ... ec_Engines

Big end (need x6) - http://www.camskill.co.uk/m3b0s9p7570/M ... TO_V6_DE3A

Now with the thrust bearing the only thing camskill has listed is thrust washers - http://www.camskill.co.uk/m3b0s9p48700/ ... st_Washers_

Or am I completely off course here?

...help me

Find everything that you think is needed then send the list including links to the workshop and let them confirm before you purchase/order.
