To bore or not to bore? B230

I had to look again - I think I put in this engine at 283k on my car, and it had 140k to start. Fairly sure the head gasket was original. I would say about 175k miles. I kept up on oil changes about every 3-5 thousand miles and if it started to look foul and was pretty good to it - stock boost and whatnot, and mostly pedestrian driving with occasional long freeway trips.
