Hi folks,
Well, The old 2F in our cruiser was overheated and now makes terrible racket after it warms up. I picked up this "good" condition 2F on craigslist to swap in. I stripped it of its bits and pieces, and pulled the head to examine.
This is where I need your help- I'm no expert "Engine-looker," but this thing looks a bit nasty to me. Cylinders are crusty and gunky but not rusty, and they smell like burnt. The cooling pipes are all rusty-sludge action. Here are pics:

There are a few more in the first link. What say you masses? Is this thing lame? Guidance is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan
