More Engine Rebuild: Inspection



The 164S rebuild has been sidetracked for the last few weeks. Life intervened. I'm trying to get back on track. I need to start ordering parts and possibly having any machine work that needs to be done, done.

I identified the following problems so far: some pitting on one of the heads, a small nick on an exhaust valve seat (not in the sealing area), and some visible, but barely detectable scoring on the rod journals.

I took some more pictures and put them on the Wiki:

I'm looking for advice on how to procede. I've read a lot but this is the first time I've seen these problems in person. I'm also having a hard time being objective.
