I'm gonna try some rust remover and see if I can get it to turn over. It's a sleeved block so worst comes to worst I get some sleeves and rings if it's pitted and get it to run again. I found a head from another om606 in a yard in Jersey I think I'll get. It's only $20.
I wonder what else could be damaged besides them cylinders? Possibly that bottom end of sitting too..
