Now the dilemma is time!
George has a good, reasoned list. But to execute, you would have to source tools & parts, and get the engine apart, and back together.
But in for a penny, in for a pound, eh?
Tough decisions... but I will say - with the engine out - now is the time to consider a new ignition system. It makes it much easier to get to the wiring on the passenger bulkhead.
Good luck with both the decision, and the execution!
