Look at the mains. The mains get oil before the rods. If mains are clear of scratches,
That’s what you can expect inside the rod bearings so why open the rods.
You get a chance to power wash the case, who wants to rebuild a crusty case?
Then, you know what you own…

+100 to this.

I rebuilt mine mostly due to oil leaks. From a performance standpoint I could have lived with it indefinitely, but the leaks and the fumes and the occasional puffs annoyed the eff out of me and why should my hobby car annoy me? It’s nice to know it’s all good for many years again, and dry. For now anyway. 😀
