More engine advice sought

["TJ Noto" <tj@domain.elided>]

I've gotten my cylinder block down to the naked truth, basically a bare
block with the studs and liners still installed.  

What is the common wisdom on removing installed liners if the intent is
to re-use them?  I know there are seals at the bottom to prevent coolant
from getting in to the oil but I'm trying a "don't fix it if it ain't
broke" attitude on this engine.  The liners are in there pretty tightly
and I think I'd need a press to get them out.  If I'm just going to hone
and re-use them I have this feeling that leaving them in situ might be
the best practice.

Can anyone give me a reason WHY I should remove them from the block
(given the presumption that I will re-use them and not install new
liners/pistons)?

Regards,
TJ
