Message I really posted this not to inquire IF I should rebuild it, but how and what, if any tips would anyone like to share..... from experience.

I feel that although the engine feels good, I have not done a compression test/ oil analysis/ oil pressure test (it reads about 1/8" past the middle hash mark which I would assume is about 40 psi) fully warmed up at 3000rpm..... but I don't think I need to test these things because I would prefer to rebuild before I start slapping more power on it.

As much as I would like to leave it alone, I don't like the idea of spinning a bearing..... I already did that once when I was a kid and I would be disappointed to throw away another good crankshaft if it happens again.

If a compression test turned out good, is that all I should do??? just replace the bearings? I haven't checked yet but is there a decent write up on how to do it? (considering I've never done it to ANY engine before) or should I pester an expert to assist me.

I appreciate you guy's input up to this point.

*disclaimer*: all that I say may be true or I may be completely wrong and I accept that.... please, it is your duty as another person on the internet to impolitely tell me how wrong I am :)
