This is why if I went to do a rebuild, I would Only rebuild an engine that was healthy and been running for 100-200k miles.
If it ran fine, stock, and you rebuild before it has any issues, the chance of success is very high as long as you keep up with the corrections TSB bullshit (pickup oil tube issue is an old one) and avoid the machine shop and machine work.
If it ever ran into mechanical issues, lack of oil pressure for example, or odd wear, I would suspect that no matter what I do, it will always have that issue.
Now, that might not be true. However it saves me a LOT of headache and time trying to make the mistake of learning whether it is true or not.
