I have seen a few of these labels and all those engines were great.  They
would not put the label on it if they did not do a full job, I guess.  You
may only need to pull the heads to fix the valves.  Change the conrod
bearings if you want, but if you do, change the bolts there too for the 1.9
non-stretch one.  Use Right Staff for the rubber gaskets.
