I'm rebuilding two 5.7s in a 1984 Carver aft cabin. Do I need to replace the drive plates/flex plates at this point? Do they wear out?

Thanks.
 
Ayuh,..... If not lubed, the splines can wear,.....

If the splines are still good, reuse 'em, with abit of grease of course,....
 
if you are referring to your damper plates (bolted to the flywheel), yes they wear out (and otherwise deteriorate). If yours are original you'd be crazy to not to replace them while the engines are out...
