That's one helluva great way to start an engine re-build.
Reminds me of what i did with mine about six odd years ago and then made the mistake of painting it.
Because its so clean when i bit of paint does chip off it looks like a spot light shining through from inside.
I wished i had just coated it in ACF50 and left it alone but being a J dictated it must be black and satin black at that. Probably one of my less well thought through decisions.
Gloss would have been a better choice in hindsight because satin shows up every mark and bit of dirt but there it is.

RIGHT!!!! Ripped into my engine today,
I'm pretty happy with what I have found, the head is in great condition, I reckon a valve grind and clean and it's done.
The barrels need a bit of work, I can still see the hone marks but however long sitting idle has produced some surface rust,
I may get away with just a hone but I need to look at them a bit more:
But no scores or burn marks! Yay!!!!
Cyl 1:
Cyl 2:
Cyl 3:
Cyl 4:
The slugs look good!
The rods are tight as (insert dirty pun here)
Overall very happy with my $300 engine.
If anyone has any info on the marking on the slugs or rods please let me know.
