If your going to break it down to the heads I would pull a couple of rod bearings and see what the crank and rod bearing looks like. I would go by what I found. IE a lot of varnish and stuff, break down the whole thing, keeping everything in place so it can be reassembled as it came apart. IF it looks good, replace the rod bolts and nuts for the ones you removed with new ones, add assembly lube to where ever you can, use new flywheel bolts if you removed them. IF you take the whole thing down, replace all the rod bolts, nuts, flywheel bolts. Why chance a $$$ engine for the price of a couple of bolts, plus new head gaskets. NEVER reuse any of these things. Many people do, but thats what causes engines to fail.
