The batwing is missing. Is there another way to find the number?
I did look up the build sheet:

Fresh, clear water... like Evian. My guess is that the water entered the cylinder by the exhaust valve.

In general i would say it's safer to rebuilt the engine; or at least pull the heads and oil pan etc. and clean everything up, just to make shure possible debree doesn't eat up the engine. ...

I think I will take a chance on the engine without a rebuild. If a problem shows, hopefully it will not be catastrophic - then rebuild. I have magnets on my filter and will order a magnetic plug soon to catch debris.
Once I am confident in the engine, I intend to have a LN IMS bearing replacement.
Here's my video from turning the engine with the starter:
