Hey Chris,
I have seen worse from sitting in bad conditions, but never like this... in that... this engine shows some anomalies. It was worked by someone who knew something about reworking an engine. He installled single lock lifters , aluminum pistons , etc. He stamped his crank work. New macerated cam gear.
At some time after this guy finished working it, this engine was put back to work. It worked on/off , so on without ever being allowed to warm up. At some point, it was stored and never given maintenance or care.
Its condition now indicates that it was stored dirty/wet... for years !!
Couple you guys say you feel...that , by look of bearing... that it will cause oil leak. Tell what you see and what you mean...details !
I had to clear the crud from this cap. The drain tube is clear. Oil should drain freely.
So how do you see the leak developing ?
