... almost like this sat out in the rain somewhere. Even the ARP bolts are rusting on the bottom side of each bolt, like water dripped off of it for an extended amount of time. Lifters don't come out of their housings and it doesn't look like there is any assembly lube, or any kind of lube for that matter, anywhere in the engine. I also saw a little rust on one of the cam lobes.
"Run Forrest... RUN!!"
I'm glad you're getting your money back on that engine. Frozen lifters... no moly on the camshaft... ??
