Also worth closely checking particularly between 2 and 3 by head stud for any cracks in the block before paying out for work.
Might just be muck or an optical illusion but your pics do look like they have a 'line' to the stud.
Also earlier pictures suggest water way between 3 and 4 is completely blocked, exactly where both cylinders appear to be allowing oil past. Those with more knowledge than I will know if this might have caused damage to the block through overheating/distortion and so the cause of your problems and whether or not it is wise to proceed with spending money on this block.
