I managed to be able to get a wrench underneath the heater core to unscrew the rocker arm bolts to free up the rockers and the engine was still the same way. Don suggested making sure the pushrods were free. I'll check that next but as I recall they fit in pretty loosely so I doubt that would be an issue.

I borrowed a friend's borescope to check out the cylinders. Aside from 8 and 6 they look pretty alright to me, though feel free to take a look at the (grainy) photos here:https://imgur.com/a/0v2O4TE. The pictures are labeled to the cylinder number.

Cylinder 8 is here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-tvpJZR1Y8

Aside from 8 and 6 they mostly just look to have a good amount of carbon buildup. A couple have visible but light scratches vertically on the cylinder walls. BTW for 6, I've had the spark plugs out for months. So IDK how old that spider web is.
