Attempt to revive first, or start with dismantling anyway?

On my bikes I get them up and running, preffereably put some miles on them if not too far gone and that way you get a good feel for what - if anything needs doing inside the engine, often a really good thrashing gets it running right, I had one that leaked from the crank seals badly when first put in the bike, not having time for a couple of weeks to swap engines I just resolved to keep the oil topped up, the leak got less then cured itself, another engine one of the valves got hot first trip out, that one will get a proper rebuild of the head, it was also sticky shifting gear though everything looked ok so that will get looked at closely.
