It was a clean as a whistle in the coolant passages (some white residue), but the engine was carboned up to the hilt and all the springs and seals were stuck. I had to DIG them out. The eccentric shaft would not turn. I guess you just can't tell what you've got....The worst part was cleaning the engine, all the rest (except setting the run out spacers) was relatively easy.
