Using an 18" Starrett rule, the head doesn't appear warped from being overheated.

I can't understand how the cylinder cooling passages got plugged solid with grimy grit like concrete while the rest of the motor remained comparatively pristine.

Yes! The sump comes off with the engine in situ.

ZN1100B shares the same J-model engine case, as I understand. 



BTW I replaced the original clutch push-rod O-RING, and have a few spares for cheap, if anybody needs one.
