Yep - that would do it! Has had water in the cylinder for awhile - can see the rust pitting.

My guess is that you should be able to sleeve that one hole, put new rings on the piston and be good to go. Given that you had a starter "clunk", then you most likely had a lot of water in the cylinder and hydrauliced (sp?) the engine. I would have the rod for that cylinder checked for straightness and check the rod bearings.
