Have been moving house, sorry for lack of updates. Got straight into it as soon as I could

An interesting tidbit I thought I'd add. Looking at the exhaust valves through the exhaust port, you can see how well that cylinder was running. Like reading spark plugs. #1 was lean, #2 and #3 were good, #4 was rich.

Pulled the head off and all the valves were straight. Have not leak tested yet but suspect they are just like the other engine... leaking all over.

Haven't got a pic of the bores but they look OK. Will get them cleaned up, measured, and honed when I can.

So the noise was indeed a big end bearing. No. 3 has lots of slop
