Is the motor toast?

Here’s a minor update

Today I got around to pulling the water jacket and trying to pull the head.

The water jacket gasket was pretty much destroyed, there wasn’t much of it left. When I tried to pull the head the 4 bolts around that cylinder with bad compression were loose. By loose I mean they popped free with next to no pressure on the ratchet. The other bolts on the head I can’t budge.

Once I can get the head off I will report back
