I was tempted to run it as is as well, the bores looked perfect and it was an untouched relatively low mile engine. That’s really why I figure I’d throw a cam in it and thinner head gaskets to try and get more RPMs and some more power out of it. The bearings did show some wear so thats why I’m replacing them. I could have ran the original rings, but I have a hard time slapping them back in when I can clean them and file fit new rings while its all apart. I’m still having a hard time reusing the roller lifters, but I think I will after reading so many successful stories of people reusing them.
