[Vwdiesel] difficulty of rebuilding a 1.6 NA?

[pete]

I've got a 1.6 that i've had since new. I never did anything to it,
but change oil and coolant that I can recall. It has always started
and ran fine.

About four or five years ago due to some of those nasty life things
that happen, I ended up storing it. First it was indoors, but for the
last few years it has been outside next to a river in the intemperate
midwest. It hasn't been run in quite a while now.

I'm not sure what i'm going to do with the PU that holds it, but it
will either be fixed up by a fellow in town or by myself. I haven't
done a whole lot of "wrenchin", but changed the timing belt years ago
and can do simple things like change brake pads and discs, etc. Have
also done a bunch of non-auto construction stuff.

I was thinking of getting one of those hoists and engine stands that
a guy on ebay is selling in dutch auctions all the time and
rebuilding it. Somewhere in storage, i've got a bentley as well.

How do you guys rate the difficulty? Given that there were no
problems with it, will it still need machine shop work? And are there
kits that provide all necessary gaskets, seals, etc.?

Interested in the thougts of you advanced wrenchers!
