My 87 was almost exactly the same mileage but slightly less oil useage and no broken studs 8 years ago. I went a mostly DIY approach over a winter with much success. The bottom end got done by a nearby shop mostly for me to have peace of mind. That shop told me the bearings were perfect and could have been left but they did them since apart. I guess I like that the case got re-sealed with new goop. They gave me the remaining tube of Dow sealant for the remainder of the build which I did and 100K and probably 80 track days later its still running strong and no leaks. Price for all was just south of 7K.
