SC motors have a robust bottom end. If it were me I would replace the studs and cam and get on with it.
Now, if you are curious about the crank and bearings, what some do is pull out the rods and look at those bearings. That will give you an indication as to the health of the bearings and crank. As mentioned you will need to replace the rod bolts if you do this. It's a slippery slope once you are in there.

Car is a 930, reportedly with SC cams (that was an upgrade for drivability)...
I hear you on the slippery slope. Motor was working fine, don't want to do a full rebuild "just in case."
So it sounds like I need to do the following:
1) All the head studs... Either Porsche metal ones or upgrade... $300-$1000
2) Regrind one cam... $300?
3) Regrind 8 rockers... $300
4) Gasket set...$400
plus miscellaneous stuff
Does that sound about right assuming heads otherwise ok?
Silly question, but if one buys a good used cam, you still regrind the rockers?
Can anyone clarify, when folks on here refer to using Porsche steel studs to replace the dilavar, are they refferring to the following:
Pelican Parts - European Automotive Parts and Accessories - Porsche • BMW • Mercedes • Volkswagen • Audi • Saab • Volvo • MINI
My car will be fairly close to stock HP wise + 50hp or so...
