dissasemble,,,check valve springs,,,take a look at the rings dont know after ten tears of sitting the tension may not be there ,bearings,if all looks good,do a couple of passes with the ball hone run to reseat the rings clean the block,,check the valve guides and replace the valve seals,,,,aluminun connecting rods should be checked at the machine shop(with 25 pases they should be ok but play it safe)

if its roller cam check the the lifters ,,being ten years back quality mite not be there

gmonde note:this is my opinion
