Fortunately it only took a couple minutes. The piston has very minor
spatter marks. Looks like it has been getting a little bit of water for
quite some time. It was very clean, but fortunately no rust. The gasket
just picked now to completely give up. The gasket is definitely blown the
metal rim was gone for over and inch, and a small piece of the fiber was
missing directly into one of the water ports.

Even better news. The cylinders have no discernable ridge. I didn't mic it
as I don't have an inside micrometer, but doing the finger nail test I could
not feel anything at all. I think this motor has very very few hours on it.
Cool deal.

You are telling me I should pull the head before I order any parts then?
LOL.

It might not hurt.
