Motor has never been apart,cylinders look good. Anything to look for bearing wise that would make me want to replace them? Thanks all.

If there are any scratches, flaking, uneven wear patterns (could indicate bent connecting rod), dirt imbedded in them or a lot of copper showing replace them. If they look good after the visual inspection check the clearance with plasti-gauge, anything over .0025 I'd replace them.

There will be date codes on the backs of them, should assure you of virgin status too.
