you may have been lucky though mate, my fingers were crossed thats for sure, but unfortunatly not
one way to look at it, You asked us to lift the head, because you thought the previous owner had skimpt on parts and not used a grp a gasket, well he had used the gasket, but did a half hearted job after a melt down by the look of it,and just thrown a new piston in number 4, ignoring the fact it was 0.5 mm higher than the rest and probably hitting the head.
At least now you KNOW exactly what needs to be done, it doesnt need to cost the earth from where you are now,
put it in the garage, gather the bits you need to do the job and it will end up a good car mate. shes nearly there.
