120k milage is LOW. As long as routine maintanence was done on that engine, all it should need is a quick hone to the cylinders, some new rings and some light emery work to the crank journals.

You could go a little further and have the pistons refurbished at a machine shop, but that's only if you find some slop in the wrist pins or heavy carbon build up in the ring lands.

Yea I know its low now but I'm not quite sure when I'm gonna do the mods and seeing as this is my daily driver I figure it will be quite higher by the time i do get to them. Thts y I was asking if I should replace them or rebuild them. Thank u very much for the advice, it sounds like wht I might do
