I think it is a false to reuse any bearings or seals when rebuilding an engine. So you spend another hundred bucks on all new stuff - what is your time worth to tear it down again? I rest my case.
I'll second that. It's false economy. New gaskets, new seals, and all new cam bearings.
How many hours on it? Check liner wear and have a good look at the piston rings, mic the crank and plasti-gauge the bearing shells.
