Ok little update.
Block, cam and cam bearings are in the machine shop.
Maybe 2 weeks there.
Then another machine shop next to it, there is a guy who checks the clearances and grinds the crankshaft for new bearings. Also checks conrod bearings and makes sure everything is in order.
Little progress in this month.

Yeah, slowly but surely.
Found this little machine shop that gave me way smaller price on cam bearings. only 150€. This bigger older machine shop told me 280€..
But yeah, no rush with this. First snow just fell on the ground..
