Day 2 update.
Cylinder walls 1 through five in sequence. #4 is the problem, as stated earlier the injector for that cylinder was burned closed, ie. no fuel injected, so the piston was just going through the motions without any action. That's also the cylinder I snapped the glow plug head off, and still can't get it out. There's some rust on the walls but that's about it. The walls themselves look good and there's very little lip at the top where the rings finish their stroke. I'm just going to do a light hone and install new rings.
