Hey guys, looking for a little more input.
Decided to keep it stock for a number of reasons. If I'm to pull the motor for cam bearings what else would you replace while you have the motor out? I'm considering piston rings, timing chain/gears, and freeze plugs.

Definitely timing chain and gears, freeze plugs, and if you are at it, checking the bores of the cylinders. Also having the top of the cylinders checked for excessive "lip". Then decide if you need to punch out the cylinders or not.
