Personally, if you haven’t done already,.. for the amount of effort and good work you are doing, consider taking it one more step, ... pull the motor, put it on a stand, read the manual on your bedside table, and systematically tear it down, clean, inspect, measure, and inventory. Bag and tag, photograph, and organize a work space.
Check flywheel, replace soft parts like clutch friction plate, grind flywheel smooth, replace seals, gaskets and replace throw out bearing. Install new rear and front motor mounts.
Take the block and head to machine shop, shake/bake, measure bores and think about reassembly with new bearings, polished crank, and/ or rebuild. A fun and do -able project. My two cents...
That’s me though... just being thorough and complete.
