Budget, time and wanted outcome are the deciding factors :)

I'd at least also replace the big end bearings.

Some of the things you could replace and modify

Crank seals
Core plugs
Big end bearings
Bearing shells
Balance bottom end
Balance rods
Clean up the cylinder head / piston crowns (remove any carbon)
Diy port match / polish cylinder head
Polish piston crowns
New valves and guides
New tappets
Clean and paint everything
New bolts and various fittings
Replace oil pump (expensive from Fiat, cheaper from Poland)
Waterpump
Thermostat
Cambelt / tensioner

Again it depends on what you want to use the engine for, racing / rallying then potentially all of the above. If you just want a refresh and the engine to (probably) out live the car then new bearings would probably be a good idea.

I recently rebuilt my 16v engine, including porting and polishing it all myself. Feel free to read - Clicky
I'd never dismantled an engine or attempted any of this before. You can do it anything and if you need any help someone on here might be able to advise you :)
 
Thnx for the suggestions a lot i will try all the inexpensive ones for sure.
My friend had worked on Mercedes and now he has his own workshop i am in good hands.
Any chance to find all the engine bolts torque settings somewhere?
 
Today I removed the engine out of the car and tomorrow its time to make it in pieces.
The compression test said 13 6 8 6 epic fail I think.

Only think I want to mention is that before a week I started the car cold and suddenly no vibrations, double the power output for sure and different, faster revving sound any ideas what would be?
