I looks like you included enough Kokanee Beer to tempt a few Pelicans to drop by for an on-site evaluation. Take it all down and build it back up right. If there are head stud inserts they will be metallic - test them once you remove the studs. Those are Nikasil cylinders - if they are more reusable than Alusil, if they are not "ovalized". A good machinist will go over all the parts with the specifications book and tell you what is worn beyond reuse.

If you don't have Waynes rebuild book - get it - any decisions are also discussed here already and can be found by searching.

Enjoy the project with your son. My engine blew (dropped valve 1975 S Targa) ahead of 'schedule' - I was hoping my now 5 year old would be able to participate in the rebuild whn he was 'of age'. Instead I was careful that he didn't scramble the parts and instead had my teen daughters help with a few steps, photos and scribe work.
