Well I finally pulled tge head yesterday. The HG was gone between the rear two cylinders for about 1/2 inch, and was starting to leak out the front it seemed. From the looks of it, I'm guessing i'll have to have the head milled down a bit.
Before I pulled it, I was able to do a compression test though. 65, 65, 0, 0. The front cylinder did not increase when it was wet. Since the rings should be okay then, am I going to need to redo the top end on this?
And another slightly stupid question: when I have the head milled, am I going to have to remove all the valve train bits as well?
Thank you both Kenneth & Mark for your help so far. It has been greatly appriciated for this first time Ranger owner.
