Here's the pics again that are in that thread of the carnage.
Definitely needs a new piston and head repair, that goes without saying. The cylinder wall is not scratched up, it only has what I would call some tiny micro-pits at various areas that you can't really feel, but you can see them. Honestly I don't even know if it needs honed out. I want to get a machinist to look at it and see what they say, but we think possibly just replacing the piston, fixing the head (new valve seats/valves, bowl repair, new head gaskets), and reassembly may be an option. Any opinions?
