How can you tell if your motor has been bore out? I finally took motor apart and seen the reason why it was shooting smoke. The valves look worn out and burnt oil bad . How can you tell if block is still good and if it has compression.

I was just checking to see if the block was bored out or not by measuring it .. But im more curious , when I had the motor in my car it ran great until it started throwing out smoke. So I took motor out and finally took heads off and the valves on heads look bad and the head gaskets weren't blown . Also the walls feel smooth and don't look bad but im wondering if the block could still be good, if I were to just put different heads
 
It probably is. Good chance the valve seals were just leaking a little bit. If you have good cross hatching on the cylinders, it's probably still good.
