The guy said he had lots of calls and someone offered $200 but I was just down the road from him. He said he could meet me in an hour at the gas station if I could pay $200. I thought it would still be a good deal if it was in good condition so I agreed.

I tell myself to look things over real well before buying and not to be blinded by shiny new toys but I didn't take my own advice. I just told the guys to take my money and load it in my truck.

I decided to change the oil before starting it and I'm glade I did. The oil wasn't oil, it was muddy water. I changed the oil wired it up and ran it til it stopped at 125psi, then I drained the oil again. Muddy oil came out. Changed the oil a second time and figured that would be fine because it was running well.

But then I thought, where did the mud come from? The only logical place is through the intake and past the pistons. So I decided to pull the head. Here are the cylinders. They are crusty and scored.
