1941 Farmall H: Seized Engine Update/Advice

After taking some advice from forum members here, I set out to unsieze my tractor. Cylinders 1,2 and 3 looked ok, but all got an ATF bath. Cylinder 4 however had quite a surprise.
Upon removing the spark plug I saw that there was some gunk in there, so I proceeded to shoot some compressed air through the plug hole. What came out had the most vile scent I?ve ever come across.
Quite a bit of brown sludgy liquid came pouring out. I can only surmise that a mouse must have crawled in through an open valve and either died and liquified, or just used cylinder number 4 as his personal toilet.

From what I could see with a borescope camera, there seems to be no nest or any other foreign matter.
Hopefully she comes unstuck!

Anyone else ever see anything like this?
