Motor is down to a bare block. Huge thanks to Dutch and Mrs Dutch for help with the teardown!
Overall, it's in excellent condition and shows extremely low visible wear. The only actual issue was the rings. The pistons themselves are nearly perfect, but the rings have no tension. Unbolting the rod bolts, I had the block at a slight angle and piston fell the first few inches on its own, and just required a little poke to go the rest of the way. If I had the block completely upside down, they likely would have fallen right out the bottom of the block as soon as the rod bolts were undone. The bores look great, will be just a hone and staying 82.5mm for the pistons.
