Pieces of steel in cylinder??
Righty Tighty, how does the camshaft look, can probably reuse that too with a new set of lifters on it if it is not gouged up or one lobe going flat.
Did you like the way it ran, performed and idled with that cam, your original grind ? If so run her again.
Of course everything needs a good final inspection to make sure it will run out properly for you.
