I have a possible lead on a low-time engine that was "flown regularly until the end of 2014" and then I think has only really flown once or twice since then (when the current owner bought the airplane it's attached to back in December and flew it home). It has since sat again for a few months in a dry climate. Owner says the compressions were "high 70s" during his pre-buy.
Are there any "gotchas" I should be looking for? I know that sitting isn't good for an engine and I've been told that the cylinder walls and camshaft are the places to look for corrosion. Trying to figure out if it's worth a weekend trip to go look at in person or not.
