I agree leave it till it gives you problems.You probably have atleast a year or to left on that engine.

put some mods on it and when it starts to give you trouble then rebuild it

Derf00

If you're going to be doing top end or lower end upgrades to the heart of the motor (performance cam, performance heads, balanced crank, pistons, etc) then go ahead and rebuild it as part of the first process. If you're doing mainly bolt-ons...don't do it yet., otherwise you're just doing a lot of double-work.

for performance cam, performance heads do i need to rebuild it cause i would like to bore it .030 over and do not what to have to buy performance cam, performance heads again cause i bored it over

Ezrider

well if you bore the motor .030 over that is somthing that is done in the process of rebiulding and if you are going to do that and preformance heads, i would sugest a cam to take full advantage of the heads
