Looks OK from those pics, infact it looks like the honing marks are even still there.

oil leak was at the cylinder head, but yes it did suffer from blowby, however, all the pistons are out so rings can easily be replaced now. I'll weigh i in for scrap though, get some money from it. Bored look very clean though, and the wear on the bottom end bearing was extremely minimal for 140k miles.
