Considering the engine has done 122,000 miles plus the out of balance forces inflicted on the crank assembly, the bores and pistons look in remarkably good condition in the pictures - can you re-use them on the rebuild?
Sounds like you havn't stripped the cylinder heads yet, it will be interesting to see the condition of the lifters, valve guides etc. I'm assuming you are using new chain tensioners, timing chains & IMS bearing when you are assembling the engine.
Keep us all posted and add pictures as the re-build as it goes ahead - lot of interested parties here......
