I didn't see the "swap meet" thing. Hmm, I thought this was a 65K documented engine. Might be best to go through the bottom end then, as you don't know what fools owned the engine in it's early life. At least take a close look at the rod bearings (you can remove and inspect the rods and bearings without undoing the bottom end). If they look perfect, then it might be safe to assume the rest of the bottom end is generally okay. These SC and Carrera motors are *very* durable on the bottom end, if they have been semi-well cared for.
