I think it;s worth the but even if you plan on a complete tear down to make SURE everything is perfect.

Just the pile of parts disassembled is worth it.

Definately worth it. I'm still tip-toeing around playing footsie with it, pulled #2/4 main caps as I have to install MP windage tray bolts , journals all looking nice, #3/4 rods same. Clevite 77 std on rods, Federal Mogul std on mains, all torqued to specs. Main and cap parting lines fresh machining as well as bore/big end cross hatch. Cam bearings oil feed holes lined up, bronze intermediate shaft bushing installed (MP shaft I'm using fits nice) Bolt holes clean.
