| This kind of thing may happen fairly often. |

When buying a car which has been sitting outside for several months or years, I get the impression that a little water will have accumulated in these cylinders, whether puddled or condensed. Cylinder walls will occasionally get rusted on these parked cars, but you don't know it because the engine was never torn apart, but just started and driven instead.
I suspect that if you drive the engine as is, it'll run fine and reliably for you. There is a chance of problems (there's always a risk to taking short cuts, there are even risks when you take no short cuts), but I don't think you'll run into any. I don't believe it'll use much oil at all.
You might want to check deck and head surface flatness before reassembly.
JMO,
Shoe. |
