No objections against a rebuild
But keep in mind that this engine is just loosing it's optimum performance. That's all.
As long as you don't need that there is no real need for a rebuild.
If you want to carry out that rebuild now because you're afraid the engine will get damaged because of this degration, then don't worry.
This kind of wear is 'healthy'. No parts will break or suffer damage because of this.
As long as performance is sufficient to you and oilconsumption is within reasonable limits you can postpone the rebuild. Enjoy another 100k k's or so and then do the rebuild.
Then you will have more value for money.
