Howard has hit the nail on the head.
Depends on your intended usage. Me, I would check everything regardless because of the investment in the motor. What if the assembly guy has just had a fight with his girl friend? Do you really think his mind will be on the finer points of engine assembly? I'm a great believer in the old adage "if you want it done right, do it yourself" However in saying that, if you are only going to be boulevard cruising the odds are that the motor will be fine.
I don't have any input on pulleys (we'll be building our own), although there is quite a bit of discussion on this thread of Ron's that may be useful
Front Dress - What a mess!
