Should be just run in at those K's, I would do a compression test before you touch anything. Look for around 440psi and oil 70-80psi cold and about 60 running temp at 2000rpm.

The big end/main shells should still be like new with those k's Damien, I have seen one with over 500k's with as new shells and good oil pressure. Even the chromhard liners don't seem to wear but the rings eventually do.
