JT, This is a totally individual call. It is up to the guy who is doing the job and how he wants to build it. Also, let's be honest. The bottom line of the repair can speak very loudly sometimes. Now, your dad will probably get along just fine in his way of doing things on his own rigs. This is what he wants to do and I certainly can respect his way of thinking. However, on the other side of the fence and since I was trained to do this work professionally, I have always looked at this issue as if I am the guy who is going to run it. I build other people's engines just as if they were mine and if I'm building an engine for someone I want it to last a long time and so does he, because you start getting into some hefty money by throwing in all the good toys and all the necessary & required machine work. If some feller pays me around $2K to $2500 for a gasser engine O/H, I'd better be darned sure that it is going to run him out to at least 4000 ‘hard’ hours or better, or else I'm gonna have a mad guy on my hands. And, like I sometimes forget to say, these are just my own personal opinions and are stated as such. Allan
