If they are serviceable, there is no harm flipping them, con rod bearings have pressure on the piston end, almost nothing on the cap, so flip them on the rod for some fresh  bearing material.Blocks can warp, but they do need to get fairly hot. You also will likely be using a composite head gasket, unless someone has taken a fair bit off the block. They are more forgiving to not quite perfect surfaces.</blockquote>
