With clean oil, get the engine up to temp, find some hills and full throttle it uphill and let it coast downhill. This helps to keep the piston rings from sticking in the grooves.

Check the timing chain for stretch and replace if needed. I've seen a few that broke.

If it starts well and has good oil pressure you should be good re: compression and crank bearings. How much oil does it consume?

Good luck!!!
