If you've bought all those new parts and I assume they are certified to new limits and youv'e inspected the case and overhauled the cylinders to what I'd assume where serviceable limits then what else is there to inspect.

Did you have the crank checked? If so why won't the shop call it a overhaul?

What am I missing. Did we discuss this before?

I do know all about the difference and between an overhaul and a repair.

Going through this myself and I want the book to say overhaul.
CAUTION - My forum posts may be worth what you paid for them!

It seems like it would be worth paying a little more to do the rest of what's required to log the work as an "overhaul" instead of a repair.
Regarding mounts,2 years ago when I told my overhauler I was gonna buy new rubber mounts,he said "why bother?"--the old ones were in perfect shape.
