Looks surprisingly good, the oil looks like it did a good job of protecting the crank. I bet it has some rusty bearing surfaces though. piston rings look a bit rusty in one of the pics.

Ya, that is all I see is a little rust on the piston rings and a just barely in some crank areas. I'll send it out when I know where it goes. I left a VM on Eric's phone Friday.

The crank is on the way to be rebuilt. New upper bearings, piston rings and circlips are on the way.
I have a few questions:
I don't see any seals between the crankcase halves. So I will seal those with Loctite 5699 per the manual.
The Octane parts diagram and the manual show a "cylinder base gasket" between the cylinders and the upper case. PN 5811784. I did not find one there during disassembly. I imagine this changes the compression a bit, yes? Should I rebuild with Loctite 5699 in this area as well?
The FWD water inlet on the upper crankcase doesn't have the clip that holds it in place. Should it be set in place with high temp silicone like it is? It didn't leak into the hull, so I don't plan on removing that unless you think I should. Do you have the PN for the clip or should I fab one up?
Note the scoring and wear lines in the upper crankcase half. Are these OK? I'm not sure at all.

The crank popped right out with no heat. Checking build threads it seems some people use a bearing retaining compound. Is that recommended in this engine? Some loctite 620?
