Is it a four-stroke? If it is, and the engine always had a good amount of oil in it, wasn't left out in the rain, etc, I would just leave it. Unless you're planning on making the engine some sick race engine, which I doubt, it'll be fine.
On a two-stroke, it's always advisable to replace the bearings, especially one from 1978.

The only question I have is... who is Tim?Originally Posted by DarkestGKnight
Also, you might want to set valve clearances on it, though. Buy a gasket set if you can, just in case.

checlk them. if they feel tight (NO PLAY) then let em be. if there even a little loose, replace them since its half apart already.
