The problem is that I have no idea why this thing was taken out of service. I might just bite the bullet and yank the whole engine - then fully disassemble. The previous owner yanked the injectors - presumably to soak the cylinders - and gave up on it. The college gave up on it also. Some fasteners were removed - in locations that suggest someone was getting ready to pull the engine.
Piston/cylinder kits are about 300 bucks per hole (x6). A complete gasket set will be about 600 bucks. The cylinder head is an unknown. I'd probably take it in for servicing (seats & guides, or a valve job at the least) - the head could be 500 to 1500. It's been a while since I sent a crank out for turning. I think it needs to go to by truck to Portland. Crap. . . .
