How do you tell when it's time to rebuild? I'm going to start tearing down my 72 jd 4230 in the next few months for paint and I thought I would ask if it's even worth considering doing any preventative engine work when it's not smoking blue or white and very little black. It's got 5500 hours on it and no leaks that I can see. Is there any reason to get into gaskets or have anything checked like valves and so forth...? I only plan on taking the sheet metal off and painting. I assume the answer is no, but I dont like having regrets. I'm not aware of any prior engine work other than some fuel work like an injector or so
