I believe I would borescope that cylinder very carefully first. It looks like SOMETHING has been banging around in there pretty good that couldn't get out of an exhaust port.

Ok so I looked in the cylinder and no particals inside. 4 of the 8 plugs separated from the jamb but so it came out in 3 pieces. All put back together and no longer shudders in overdrive!!
