There are so many things that could/should be done, but the shopping list is getting long and I need to practice a bit of austerity!
I will post my experiences and pix if ever I get this mother back in place.
Do you realize you need to split the engine case to install new chains? At that point go for new main, thrust, and rod bearings, as well as new rod bolts. Rings would be nice, but at ~$1200 the old ones look pretty good.
