The head has a slight bit of rock to it when placed on the jug with no gasket. So that will have to be trued up before reassembly with a new piston.

Yeah it definitely had a bit of cold seize at one point. I showed that to my son and explained how that happens. But at the time of the failure it was definitely warmed up properly.
