X-3+ a good machinist is worth whatever he wants to charge (within reason) and will very likely be the difference between an engine that runs reliably and one that doesn't. That said, Eagle makes a good rebuild kit for the 302. Oh, yes - you cannot have too much chrome-moly assembley lube or pre-oil. Having a lot of assy. lube or pre-oil will make the engine barf a bit and smoke a lot when you first start it up after the rebuild, but too little of either will grenade that engine and then you'll need a new block.
