Reliability of rebuilt engine

What kind of reliability can I expect from a rebuilt engine? This includes: new rings, bearings, pistons (about 50K miles on them)gaskets, seals, sensors, freeze plugs, various lines, motor mounts, lifters, oil pump, water pump, pcv valve, radiator, fan motor, and various nuts and bolts. Machine work includes: cylinder honing, deck milled, crank ground, everything balanced, heads reconditioned, and then bead blasted. If there is anything else important that you can think of, let me know. Thanks

If the bearings, rings were a brand name, not cheap crap, and the machining done as you've said, and you use quality gaskets and torque/seal correctly, there's no reason that block shouldn't last 200,000 miles. Just keep the oil changed as required, and don't overheat it.
 
Well the bearings are clevite and rings are hastings (I think thats what it was). Only Fel-Pro gaskets and the machine work is quality. I'm looking forward to dropping it back in. Thanks
