sorry if this is a repost but whats a good way to tell if a engine needs to be rebuilt. what do i need to look for when I'm pulling it apart? i feel like nothing is wrong with the motor it ran strong before i put the trucks up.

If you're talking about rebuilding and replacing the conrod, piston, and sleeve, you're better off to buy new. If it ran strong before you stored it, I'd just put some fuel in it, rotate it a few times by hand, drain it and fire it up.
Best way to tell if the engine is going bad is by rotating it with the glow plug in. If you can spin it real easy, then there's not much pinch left. If it's nice and tight, you're good to go.
