I agree. Use as many parts as you can. A .010/.010 or a .030/.030 crank is just as strong as it is standard.

You can reuse the Pistons if they don't have a bunch of junk in the skirts and I would reuse the rings if they pass the eye test.

A sleeve in a bore is not a bad thing. In my time I have set literally hundreds of sleeves. Zero issues.

Save what you can.
