NoDOHC will become famous soon enough
If you are running non-turbo, they will typically give some indication of age before they let go. With a Turbo, you could destroy a new engine as easily as an old one, so there is really no major advantage to a rebuild there either.

If compression is good, you are probably Ok to keep running it. It will probably start flooding and idling a little rough long before you have any actual failures.
