Thanks Tools. The mechanic I'm having bore the cylinders said the same thing about the bottom end when I dropped it off there today. I'm gonna look through the cylinder gaps in the case and if I don't spot any bad corrosion I think I'm just going to leave it as is.

About the head, we pulled two of the valves, and since the engine was seized for some several years with two of the valves stuck open, the seats and valves are shot on at least a few of them, for sure the two we looked at. All pitted and bad corrosion on the seat and valve.

What exactly do you mean gasket and seal set? I ordered a complete gasket set, with oil seals (which I'm sort of regretting right now since I might only need the three main gaskets (i.e. cylinder head, head, and cam cover), but were you referring to something more specific? The gaskets around the valves?
