Just drive it and let it reveal any problems. Be SURE to check the oil before and after every drive for a week or so. If it turns milky you have a problem. Watch the temperature all the time for a while. If there is damage, it's already done. If it runs and no milky oil or heat or weird stuff, you are OK, you dodged a bullet. Another sign to watch for is hard starting, like starter won't turn motor over. That would be hydraulic lock (water in cylinders). In other words a cracked block/head, broken rings or blown head gasket. You are looking for water to be in places it should not be. Crankcase and cylinders.
If you are nervous: There are leak tests and leak down tests you can do instead of tear down. It's like using a compression test hose (without the check valve) to induce air into each cylinder. Depending on where air escapes you can tell what is wrong. You can search the internet to get the particulars.
Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. - William Penn | | | |
