    FE's don't usually wear the bores too bad. You can get by with rings in many cases. I guess it depends on how you plan to use it. The more performance you expect, the better it has to be. For stock output, on a daily driver that you want to run for a few years, rings and bearings and a valve job will smarten most 390's right up.
