I have the engine out on a stand with the oil pan off so removal of the pistons is not a big deal. I figured on replacing all the rings. I would evaluate journal wear and see if there is any wear. I have been working on cars for many years and have done almost everything mechanically on a car. Just wanting to learn from other's experience before I make a $250 additional cost ($50 rings, $200 rod bearings) decision/commitment.
Thanks for the inputs.
