I have an opportunity to purchase this engine. According to the log (experimental use only) it was test run Aug of 2009. 160 horse injected, it was preserved and has been sitting. Any thoughts about what should be checked before purchase?

I might take a look with a borescope. And, since it's easy and not on an airplane, maybe even pull a cyl. -- it doesn't take very long to do that woth the right tools.
