There are a few things I do with an unknown engine;

1)A compression test, and a leakdown. That tells the story for the rings/valves respectively
2)DROP THE OIL PAN AND CLEAN IT OUT this is mandatory in my book
3)In your case, while the pan is off, removed one or two of the rod caps and see what kind of shape they're in, and inspect the piston skirts at least.

Make your decisions from there.

My plugged nickels enyhoo.


Deffintly agree since I just went through it. Pulled compression and it was good but something didnt sound right during cranking. Ended up my 70k motor I had broke the t-chain guide. Peice's all over the pan and in the pickup. Started tearing it down and found the HG was seeping on 1 corner.

motor ended up being fully rebuilt.
