If you decide to change pistons I'd advice the new slipper pistons. A big improvement over the originals that have 4 rings.
The joint between block and crankcase tends to leak so best to fit the silicone gasket that is now available. Also that joint has been known to give trouble, pulled studs etc, so best to avoid the double valve springs. Many people discard the oil baffles which are a fiddle to fit and don't do much.
