There was no hgf as far as i can tell. Your welcome to come and have a look. I wasnt going to bother stripping it any further as i thought there would be limited interest.
Have you turned the crank with the head off? (Please say no! ) a wet piston would indicate the head gasket had failed... or the inlet manifold gasket had failed...
