I've seen worse, looks like you had a couple of external leaks.

 

Extinct, thanks for the reply. Could you please note exactly where you see the external leaks? By external, I presume you mean combustion gases to the atmosphere... not the coolant system. Or maybe coolant leaks to the atmosphere? Thanks!

 

Looks to me like you got some seepage on the drive side rear piston, based on the white on the piston and valve. Looks to me like just a bit of steam cleaning. If you look at your driver side photos the one valve is a lot cleaner than the rest,as is the matching piston.

I could be wrong not an expert here but that is what it looks like to me

 

I don't think you have any steam cleaning, but here is what I saw as external leakage.

 

@Extinct That valve by the external leak looked very clean to me compared to the rest.

 

Looked to me like that cylinder was running just a bit lean, exhaust valves typically are colored by the fuel mixture.

 

Thanks, Extinct and Richard Gallant. I'm checking the block and was wondering what size feeler gauge to use. Lowest I had was a .004", but read on this forum to use a .002 for the heads. I presume the same for the block? .002 is a good bit smaller than I'm used to using.

Feeler gauges that go to .0015” are quite common and easily obtainable.

 

Harvlr, thanks for the response. I got a set that goes down to .015 yesterday. Thanks.
