Engine rebuild?

My 98 z28 has 135,000 miles should I try to do a complete rebuild? If so what exactly do I need?

If it's an LS1 powered car, it's 'really fast' already. What are you calling 'a weird noise'? MAFs don't make noise btw.

Do you have a sewing machine sound or a louder than normal ticking?
