The engine looks pretty good inside, if you are confident you have found the source of the metal, is it just a case of reassembly?
Will you use some self locking nuts?

Thanks Mart, and all who have commented.
Good to know that flat spot on the plunger is supposed to be there.
It does look pretty good inside but I am concerned about #3 cylinder wall. I feel like its going to cause problems sooner than later, possibly developing into a crack.
I am going to deal with that for sure but as well am going thru everything and checking fits and tolerances as per my repair manual.
An excerpt from the forward:
-----------
"This is a Repair Manual rather than a Reconditioner's Manual, and some acceptable repair practices would not be acceptable reconditioning practices. In this book the word "repair" is used to indicate "restore to good working condition" and not to a "like new" condition.

Self locking nuts, are those the aircraft ones you refer to in your videos?
