I did all the valves lapped them in inlet valves weren’t leaking but I stripped them out cleaned all the carbon lapped them anyway, the head had a 2 thou discrepancy so had the very minimum skimmed at the machine shop.
Hi hopefully last a bit just need to keep on top of it a bit of preventative maintenance etc, certainly nothing like the last mini I restored many years ago that was a 1968 mk2 and still going strong although I don’t own it anymore
Once you get the new timing chain parts in it , it will be a reliable motor...my 2009 has 92K and has never been apart - although it did get all the new timing chain parts just before it went out of warranty at 50K
