More than ever, have the crank turned and replace the rod and main bearings with the New Size.

Replace the oil pump, and freeze out plugs. You put that bottom end in shape, and youll be happy you did, years later. Now is the time, unless your planning on a future stroker.

At least do the new owner a favor and replace the Rod Bearings and Rear Main Seal.
