Crank bearings ?
Easy question here
I purchased a used motor that ran good before pulled.
But before I put it in my car I wanted to change the crank bearings for piece of mind. Can I change them with out having the crank turned or polished and without having the motor worked on?
It's a 5.3l btw. And I will be replacing all the seals n gaskets while the motor is out.

I would either:
A: leave them alone (you said all was good before pulling motor)
or if you must then
B: Remove, inspect and Replace them with "A" bearings
I have never done B. If your going to tear the bottom end apart you mind as well spend another $200-$300 and get everything set up and machined properly.
Lots of people remove a good running motor from one car and install it in another car with no issues. FWIW
