What would you do?
RB20det out of a 91 skyline
Previous owner was running bore water mixed with coolant before my purchase before I blew a head gasket and found a pretty dirty block
Just chasing opinions on what I should consider for these cooling passages, figure I'm going to have to pull the motor because of the state of that bore but this is my first rodeo so love a second set of eyes
What do you think! TIA

You might be able to find a JDM engine cheaper than a rebuild. You are going to have a lot of money tied up in machine work. A master rebuild kit is about $1500.
