Vex, you make good points on the rebuild thing. same thing goes for piston engines. why buy a whole kit w/ pistons, rings etc etc when all you might need is a couple gaskets and bearings?

Or you could make the point-
Do it once do it right-
Why use old stuff even if its perfect id rather rebuild once and replace everything than fix what is bad at this time-

If the parts are in spec, they're going to be equivalent to if not the exact same as what you replace them with. There's reasons why the FSM states "if out of spec, replace". There's no point except bragging rights and maybe a false sense of security with just swapping in with a master kit all the parts that are still in spec. You run the same exact chances of failure with new parts that are spec'd that you do with old parts that are spec'd. Now, if we were talking about re-using soft seals, then yes. Replacing soft seals are mandatory for correct function.
