To me, it would be a mistake not to. You have it right there. The big $$$$ dollar factor is IMO starts at the P/C's and up to the valve covers. The big labor (read effort) is in the short block assembly. I don't understand why some people do the whole top end w/o at least splitting the case to make sure all is right with the world.

Think of it this way. Would you sink $200K into a home remodeling job w/o first verifying that the foundation is sound??
