I've got a 235 engine that sat outside in the weather for several winters. The cylinders with intake valves open looked the same way- - - -badly rusted and cylinder walls utterly destroyed. I haven't magnafluxed the head yet, but there's a good possibility I'll find freeze damage there as well. I think the crankshaft and connecting rods, and the rocker arms and shafts can be salvaged. The rest of it is pretty much scrap iron. Jerry
