I think this thread is absolutely brill.  A real example of how relative strangers can meet in the middle of nowhere, get on and do summat constuctive to a mutual advantage......  
Aye, this forum is by far the best I have ever been on (and I consider myself an Internet (and BBS before) veteran), and I am truely humbled....

Now, I wonder if we can beat Allenm's "Oh Bugger" thread which I think ran to 20 odd pages  ;D

We'll do our best :y

Yep, I think you can safely say the headgasket is  :-Xed!

To be honest those pistons don't look great either. What is going on in no.4 cylinder?

Oh, and is there a reason for leaving the plugs in? Just curious....

Look ok to me....pretty standard state after headgasket failure (signs of rusty water etc).

So, who can see the fundamental design fault that causes it......

Too big a bore so too small a contact area around liner and head.
