Well, I’ve now got the engine on a stand and ready for disassembly. I have set aside this evening to pull the 1-3 head.

I’m fairly certain that something went wrong on #2 (melted spark plug boot, spark plug stuck in the head) so I’m guessing a 75% chance piston is melted or Dchunk, 25% chance head issue that left the short block usable as-is.

Will report here with pictures when it’s off.
