Default "K" kits from Comp Cams?

What do you think of the "K" kits from Comp Cams? One I'm looking at for my rebuild is at this link:

Let me know about any of the stuff in it...I'm especially interested in knowing about the timing chain quality.

Their complete kits are good kits for those that want an all inclusive kit. The timing sets are from what I hear made by Cloyes which are the best made. However I would sugges purchasing the complete kit from another mail order supplier such as Summit or Jegs, you will get a much better price.

Good point about where to buy it. Any negatives on the kits?

The kits are pretty complete and has all their recommended parts to match the cam. The only thing you need to worry about is whether or not the heads need machining to accept the valve springs. Each kit has a parts listing so you can look up the spring part number to see if machining is necessary. Everything else is a drop in.
