I had an engine rebuild at 83K.  At 106,000 I just had a top end job.  Might be time for you too.

When I tear it down I won't replace the bottom end without at least touching up the heads.  It seems Gary did all his mischief in the bottom end but it'd be silly to not refresh a little while there no matter what.

Why would you run a compression test if you own, and know how to use, a Leak Down Test Kit?
