That's the one thing the guy didn't do is fresh freeze plugs. I mean fresh like it probably had a few 1000 miles on it. The carbon dusting on the valves and top of pistons was very thin. Like really thin. I think the guy either put in regular steel freeze plugs so they rusted really quick or he just neglected it altogether and the motor has sleeves back to a standard bore. Either way we are putting all new plugs, seals, cam and crank bearings back in it for safe measure also hot tanking the block and heads.
