The engine isn't that bad. Pretty much what I suspected, blown head gasget, so just a "standard" rebuild is needed. As mentioned in a previous post I'm going to focus on the bottom end and strive for reliability rather than power. I'm still on the fence with hyperurtectic or forged pistons, mostly due to cost. I need new rods, they looked like they were stretched, but aside from that everything else seems to be fine. Some pictures below, notice the snapped ring (near the reflection) on the piston.
