Not sure how far I should go so asking advice from the group.

89 Carrera 3.2 with 120k miles.

Burns no oil and has good oil pressure. Leakdown test indicated #4 cylinder has a bad valve. Original clutch (G50 trans) so that will get replaced.

It idles a little lumpy because of the #4 cylinder (I assume) but not terrible. Not sure if this would effect any of the bearings (question 1).

Definitely going to have all the heads rebuilt with new chains / ramps. Should I stop there or do any of the following (in order of difficulty)?

New rings?
New, upgraded rod bolts?
New main bearings?
New rod bearings?
Anything I am missing while in there?

I would be doing the disassembly and reassembly myself in a small garage. Prob send the heads to Ollies. Not sure about the other stuff. With increased to do list increases my chances of screw ups. I did rebuild my 2.4 E motor 10 years ago.

Advice is greatly appreciated.
