Thanks for all the replies, fellas.

I'll have a closer look to see what the situation is at the bottom of the bore. that one piston did not match the others and that one cylinder was an overbore. The others on that side were standard. I was able to knock the heads off the others and they came out relatively easy, but that one fought me and I couldn't get the head fully off. The head must have swollen oversize and broke out the bore as I drove it downwards.

Lesson learnt. FOLLOW THE ADVICE ON THE BARN!

Humbled.
