I'm going to pull more tomorrow, maybe more not so good pictures.

If the head gasket looks good & there are no cracks the water may have come in from the weather or condensation.

Wash them out with hot, soapy water and rinse well, then reassemble it. I don't even think I'd replace the rings- - - - -they look brand new. If you want to be absolutely sure, do a re-ring job, but don't worry about rod bearings.

I am partial to cast iron rings in six cylinders but that is just me.Just pulled out a 261 that had lots of miles on it after 18 years and it just started to smoke a little. You would not be able to do that with a set of chrome rings for sure.
