You would be wasting your cash because there would be nothing to recondition, except maybe replace the cam chain.
If its running ok then leave the engine intact.
Give a major service which should include the following:
Check the tappats, (vital) change the fuel, air and oil filters and change the oil, coolant and brake fluid.
I have seen these engines run to over 100000 miles, mine has just turned 72000 miles.
