The former owner had it already torn down before I could get it purchased. The oil pump was starting to go, which when that happens it generally, as I understand it, starts to take out the #6 cylinder first and works it's way to the front. Luckily he caught it before a lot of damage was done.

I plan on putting in new liners and doing a complete rebuild. I want this one to last for a good long while.
