| If your pulling the engine anyways why not just refresh it with main bearing, rod bearings, and rings? Then put new seals in the heads. |

Just change out the valve seals to by more time to you get the 393 done...
If It were rings you would be burning a lot of oil and loosing compression...
If you are loosing Oil and compression freshen it up with Bearings,Rings Seals... |

word of advice, if it is on or near the balancer or crank, leave it there.
