The gasket looked frayed around the cylinder opening (new gasket has a metal ring but old one was tattered/ jagged around all openings also I see no metal left). There was a little bit or corrosion/salt between the water jacket opening and the top cylinder.
Also signs of salt inside the head walls...normal?
The top piston has some minor scratches dings in it as does the head in chamber. I'm thinking when the ring disintergated it got chewed up in the combustion chamber...?
As far as I can tell the cylinder walls look scratch free. Pistons have alot of carbon soot but other than the dings they look to be in tact...not new but decent.

Going to put it back together and have a look at the starboard side.

thanks for the info...I listen to it all.
