First 2 days are over, what i did:

- dismantle the block
- found some small debris outside on the #2 and # 5 piston walls
- turn out all restrictors
- throw out all bearings
- cleaned all removed parts and stored them
- check overall for cracks- no cracks
- check all cylinder bores:
+ 2 bores, #2 and #6 had small scratches, must be from some lifter and cam debris carried from the pistons up and down
+ decided not to hone them but to brake the lines.
- on all other bores you can see still the criss cross pattern from the machining 2 years before
- checked all lifter bores, trimmed the sharp edges where the lifter galleys go through,
- honed all lifter bores after trimming the edges

What to order and to replace:
- all rod bearings
- all cam bearings
- main bearings can be kept

This an first overview with all the main parts off:
