Hey guys, I'm looking at an airplane right now that has lived in the Chicago area it's whole life. Always hangered with exceptional build quality. O-360 compression is great (78,78,75,77), the motor is clean, and runs smooth. The owner/builder is of age and just hasn't flow it, like almost at all, in 25 years. It was rebuilt in 1999 after the original log books were lost and has less than 200hr on it currently.
What are come precaution or steps I can take to minimize my risk with this older rebuild? I know Lycoming motors have the potential for rust to pit the cam shaft, but a scope isn't going to be able to make it down there?
Thanks in advance for all the help from the community!
