If the sump comes off easily and it's not using a lot of oil, you have nothing to lose by having a look at the bearings. If the crank journals are ok, all you have to do is change the shells and the cylinder head. Buying a secondhand engine is fraught with risk.

Re: Mail order tyres for a 1962 car.
From your name I assume the car is a Goggomobil or something similar. Does it have to be crossply? I think radials of a similar size were used on BMC 1100s of that era.
