Depends, are you doing any other gaskets like I stated earlier?
Unless he pulls the VTC cover these is no way to determine the condition of this engine internally. I was at 136k with some crappy service it's entire life.
Many things were replaced and that was doing the work myself.

20k miles later no issues but I wish I would have gone with a newer engine, I would have had an extra as a donor plus it is extra parts that I can store/clean/mod/paint.

You can literally sell 10 parts of a VHR and make the labor back. Might be too much for the OP but it's all dwindling on what is found upon disassembly.
