Depends how far you're going to go, really. In my books, if you're going to sell it as a refurbished engine you're looking to restore it to as close to "as new" as makes no difference. At 160k miles that will mean a complete set of gaskets and seals, lapping the valves in, cleaning all the tappets and possibly replacing some, piston rings and either a hone or rebore with oversize pistons and possibly bearings and a polished crank.

Then you've got the convince a buyer that you've done all the above and done it well.

If you're not going to go that far, it may well stay together as Ellesmere port assembled it, IMHO.

Vavles and valve seals done at about 115,000 when it was ported, bores then were as new.

Yep! fully agreed Kevin.  I think the most difficult bit if you tried to sell it would be convincing the buyer of the job done.  If I did that I'd keep it any way.  If...If...
