There's no point in touching the bottom end, it's not even broken in yet and just a waste of money. The ring seal on these engines are good for 300k+ with proper maintenance. Do the rear main seal and do whatever else you gotta do and call it a day.

You could even do the rope seal without removing the crank (I posted a thread here somewhere). If it is too late for that, the rebuild is probably going to happen. As said, one size over piston/ring/pin assemblies are available, and are the best way to go vs using the old pistons and sleeving the block.
