No damage to the cylinder wall or head, and just a couple minor dings
on the piston crown. Lucky me.

Are any dings near the edge? if so it bent the piston edge down and
the top ring is now stuck. or broken.

Thank You,
Randy

Speaking of dinged pistons.... my Escort dropped a valve
seat, a not at all uncommon problem with the brand.

What stunned me was getting the head off and finding a light
ding in #4 piston that was created by a sharp edged curved
object. One ding only. Slight damage to the aluminum around
the intake valve seat. The seat came out, kissed the piston,
and found it's way back into the head, with amazingly little
damage! I would not have bet a nickel on that happening....
