The level of action you take is determined by how much of a rebuild you are doing.

The minimum effort is to buy a used piston/sleeve and replace the set. One new piston is more money and probably won't hurt the engine with unbalanced compression because the engine is well-built and turns slow, but the sleeve is probably well pitted and will wear new rings quickly.

Crank journals should be mic'd to determine size and whether they are out of round, but if the bearings look good, the cheap route is to use Plastigage (auto parts store, instructions in package) to make sure they are not too loose and reinstall them. Again, the engine turns slow, and will run a long time with loose bearings, with low oil pressure being the main fault.

If you plan on running it hard and hot for long hours, mic the crank.

If you plan to parade it and mow a little, Plastigage it and put it back together.

You will make money buy buying and reading a book on general automotive engine overhaul.
