If you plan on rebuilding the head, that is a great time for an engine inspection to see how much abuse the car truly suffered. My car had 213K miles when I replaced the head gasket and had the head rebuilt. Other than some carbon scoring on the top of the pistons, everything looked in awesome shape. Even some crosshatching still visible on the cylinder walls. However I bought my 2 from a little old lady from Seal Beach who kept an impeccable maintenance record. If your cylinder walls are scratched up or you can see the oil pan by looking past the piston rings (exaggeration of course) then chances are good the rest of the engine is just as worn out.
