Just did a deeper inspection and found a couple of things. Some cylinder gasket water issues, right at 4/6 and 3/5, so that's starting to explain the water in the cylinders. Wasn't burned through, but definitely visible.
2nd, that changes the schedule somewhat is he did find some scoring on the cam at 8 for sure, where the pushrod had punched through the rocker a couple of years ago, and light scoring on a couple of others. So, we're this far, time to finish tearing the front off, and move the water lift to swap it out. Now, can I find a cam soon enough in today's environment? bleah.
Interesting. I'd replace it with a stock style cam. Try to avoid bumping things up and avoid the chance for reverb. Sounds like you'll be into things for $1500 in parts +/-.
