If the engine that sat is out, and it seems to be out of the car you want it in, I think I would refesh it...

have the head off and bench test the valves with keroscene in the combustion chambers looking for leaks..

Pull the pistons, have the ridge reamed and the bores honed, and install new rings, and perhaps new rod bearings. Inspect the oil pump...

The valves... The once that leak K-1 should come out and be inspected, and replaced and surfaced as needed...

A comp test on a stored engine is not exactly valid, and when that engine is cold worse yet. You have some decent reading however, andd running alone should improve them, but why not just know the engine has been made sound before you install it?
The gaskets will cost more than the valves and the rings combined probably.. Mac
