You should tear this engine down as soon as you can. By the looks of it the biggest concern is corrosion on the bearing journals, timing chains, cam lobes, lifters, valve stems, and gear teeth caused by the coolant that found its way to the lube oil side. With this many miles if the previous owner(s) did not properly maintain the coolant you may find some pitting on the cylinder head deck in the cylinder liner sealing area and where the liners insert into the block. Then take it to a local shop and hot tank it.
