That head stud looks like it's corroded in.
Seems to have been running rich, carbon should be a sort of biscuit brown BUT that was in the days of leaded petrol, might not be the same with unleaded.I'd check the rings, there appears to be some blow past the rings as the piston skirts show burning. Area between top and middle ring has carbon on it, more than there should be and the gap appears quite large in the ring. I suspect it may need a new set of rings. The cam followers look a little stepped, ask Graham to have a look at them as it might just be the light. Cam journals look really good, not a great deal wrong as yet.
And.....the workshop now looks like a bomb has hit it and I have been told in no uncertain terms to clear it up. Having seen his workshop I bet he has.
