whats the main reason fer rebuild?

I have a V8 you can practice on.....its already been stripped.

 

[juiceyv8]

Very tappety even with 5-40 in.
piece of mind.+ I can sort out a small oil leak...not sure where its coming from. its not the head as no mayo or drinking water/oil

Or should I just leave it alone as it still works

 

[90truckcab]

id leave it me self, i v rebuilt a few different engines, they all seem to end up way more work than yer first realise, and costs a small fortune,

if its running ok leave it till its at a point where it NEEDS rebuilding

then presuming all the parts are standard order all yer bits and strip it
