You will have clagged up rings which mean you will have to pull pistons and remove the varnish by hand then replace the rings. Since the motor is that far apart overhaul the heads replace seals and its all good or another 300000kms

Is it worth doing?

Well any second hand motor you buy to replace it will be a gamble on it being any better then the one you have in there anyway at least if you do the work you will know the condition of the engine
