I have a 97 5.7 with 220k miles. It runs great, and has good compression. I have a few oil leaks that I'd like to address. If I pull the engine to reseal everything, I know I'll end up going deeper, since I invented "while I'm there". Has anyone here done a simple (cheap) ring and bearing job on a Vortec? I've read online where these with high mileage often still have good cylinder walls. Cleaning up everything should help.
Part of me says to leave well enough alone. Part of me says that I can only make it worse. Part of me says that sprucing things up may help me coax some more life out of the old girl.
