If you just want to replace an engine with a used one you should get a used
one that runs and just swap the engines.  If you are going to tear the engine
down to the short block before installing it doing the boil out and replacing
worn out rings and bearings is the only cost and time effective thing to do.

If the used engine is in a condition that requires disassembly and repairs
before use only doing a patch job insures that other components will fail in
the near future.   Doing a valve job on a used engine will only increase the
pressures on the used rings and bearings.  It may cost you more money than you
wanted to spend at the moment but the alternative is you will soon be pulling
the engine again and rebuilding it, doubling your time commitment and some of
your costs.

Best regards,
Tom
