New part ordered.

Update!!! So I changed out the piston and went ahead and got a new cylinder. There were some vertical marks and I was advised since I had it all apart to go ahead and replace the worn/damaged ones. I went ahead and replaced the camshaft too. There was quite a bit of wear on the exhaust lobe. I went ahead and looLed at valves and everything was great. Put everything back together and cranked it this afternoon and sounds better then it did when it was running. I’m a veterinarian and this is really the first time really diving deep into something mechanical. There were some points when I thought to myself, there are some surgeries that I do that are easier then this. All in all, its always a good feeling making something run when they were just going to get rid of it. Plus it was just given to you.

Ran the engine after and noticed exhaust vapor coming out of a crack in the intake manifold after i stopped the engine after running it for a couple of minutes.
