So I'm about to put my engine back together. Just collecting the necessary parts.

When doing this, does anyone bother replacing the small end bearing bushes? These things:

I've heard it's more trouble than it's worth.

I didn't bother with them. So long as they look in good enough condition. I was advised by a few people not to bother with them anyway. Don't know how much this helps.

Haynes has the tolerances on these, so can check whether they're still to spec.
