At least with Northern you know where the gaskets and bearings are made. The PowerStroke(idiots) and last site do not disclose who made the gaskets and other parts in the kit. A diesel rebuild is not a good place to skimp, it is way too expensive to have to redo.
Something else I noticed with the last website, the pic is misleading, They show replacement sleeves, so the image you see is not what you would get.(not to mention they show only 6 pistons and sleeves)

Not only that, those aren't the right pistons. Matter of fact, I doubt any of those parts would work in our trucks, its most likely just a random engine kit photo they use for everything.

If you have to bore it you should be able to get piston .010, .020, .030, and .040 over. Mine is at .040 over only because it had been rebuilt before at .030 and PO melted a piston to wall, I had to go another .010 to clean it up. If I recall correctly I think it was about $150 for the boring but would have to check. Have not seen pistons bigger than .050 over.
