Good progress. One step closer to having her back on the road.
Blower looks clean! The intercooler brick acted as a mesh and kept all the debris down.
Having my parents over for the weekend helped a lot. Dad and I can work 3 times as fast on the garage together and Mom helped do grandma stuff with the baby so I got a good stretch in the garage.
I pulled the driver's head off and #3 piston as expected is gone. The head looks rough and #5 rod is twisted. The block is ugly from the rod whacking the cylinder but strangely the rod is still there.
Either way the engine is shot. Debris all through the top of the heads, block needs to be sleeved, combination chamber on driver head would need to be repaired.
Coil issue maybe?

Sure would be nice if you could just punch it out .030" over and go.
The gouges from the pin smacking the cylinder are definitely deeper than .030, probably +.060
I don't suppose machine shops weld bores the way they do cylinder heads? Never asked about that myself. But I did have a head welded and milled before. It ate itself along the firing ring on the head gasket.
Head gasket looks good. No signs of lifting, it was still stuck down nice.
