At my work I picked up a non hemi predator thats a few years old, Originally I thought it was locked up. The oil looked like creek mud (spilled on the floor woops). The cylinder is not scored but has black stains, not enough to even feel with fingernail in most places. I think it might have been overheated so idk if honing would work or not. All the parts look almost new no obvious signs of wear. The valves don't leak and the piston looks usable so does the rod. I found out the resistance was from the flywheel scraping the block. Very strange, almost as if he ground the flywheel against the shaft with compound until it started rubbing. He also was using a drill to start the engine, the nut is very much rounded and it was missing the pullstart. Maybe it just tightened so much it started rubbing idk. I need to get the nut off somehow, not sure how. If anything a good parts motor, with good crank, cam and head etc.
