OK, tell me exactly how to measure the cylinders. Does anybody have the
specs? If its not oval, and the rod is in fact bent, I could probably
get away with just replacing the rod. Hell, if Im going to do that, I
might as well yank the engine and just put new rings and everything else
in as well.

looking from the naked eye it seems the rest stick up just a bit past
the deck, and #1 is flush. Also, I can see the cross hatch marks in
all the cylinders, even #1 but I do not know if its just my
imagination, the lighting or what but it seems like the marks in #1
are fainter than the rest.
You could measure the ovality of #1 hole, and see if one new rod
was called for, or whether the engine was now 'toast'. Or a set
of six new rods, really.
