Transmission coming off.
Clutch removed.
Flywheel and engine end plate removed.
Head off, head gasket looks good.
Head and valves are dirty but look healthy.
Water pump is in fine shape, shaft and bearings are good.
Timing chain coming off next, tensioner foot has some minor wear.
Lifters have some wear, need to measure cam lobes.
Oil Pan off, bottom end is next.
Pistons out, broken compression rings on piston one and three.
I found some metal in the oil pan, and here is where it came from, number four crank bearing, it melted.
The scoring on number four should be able to corrected with machining and an under sized bearing.
The oil pump suffered collateral damage from the number four bearing melt down, they just don't hold up to pumping metal bits very well. This is a surprisingly cheap replacement part, so not a big deal to replace.
Finally, the last wear item to report, the rocker shaft has reached the end of it's life, but it's another cheap replacement part so there is no reason to try and save it.
