the heads hardly ever go bad. I do have a short block that has 1 bad
hole, as far as rings go. Would be cheap if you wanted to re-ring it
and probably put new bearings in it while you are at it. The cylinder
walls are good but as I said, 1 hole lost compression due to bad rings.
Put many miles on that engine and just dropped a new one in my black
wagon because I didnt have time to put new rings in it. Its worth
fixing and would be a cheap easy fix if you wanted to go that route.

Do you have an engine with a bad head and good block?

I cant really tell from your pics, but if its where the compressor
bracking mounts, its the block.

Question, is that actually part of the block or is that part of the oil
pan?
