It is a fine art with liners mate and can be a lot of work. Had a 750 set once that had water sitting on top of two pistons for years.
Re-bored to 0.45 and then to 0.75 and then 0.95 and you could still see the marks. Pushed the liner out and it had gone all the way through :o Then had to go down the road of putting another liner in and skim up the barrels ;)

You won't know until you have fully stripped the engine, measured and assessed everything, priced up all the parts needed and costed the machine work.

This week I'm hoping to find time to split the cases, is there anything I should be aware of when I do this? I'll be following the shop manual and some YouTube videos to guide me.
