Default Borescope reveals tell-tale half moon paterns from exhaust valves...

...on the face of virtually every piston. The is very discouraging to me since I had grown cautiously optimistic when I discovered that all valve clearances could be adjusted within spec. One other discouraging sign is what appears to be oil inside cylinder 6 which leads me to think maybe the valve guide was hosed on that cylinder as well. I'm seeking opinions on what to do next? Since I had the one valve adjuster retaining nut off and that adjuster backed way out, I'm inclined to put the thing back together, fill it up with oil, and fire it up to see how it's running. Another part of me is saying don't waste my time, start making plans to pull the motor and pull off the heads.

Thoughts?
