Message: [QUOTE="TimberPig, post: 1174601, member: 66421"] I think I'd tear it down and inspect at least, a gasket kit is cheap, having a thrown rod take out a set of cases or a cylinder isn't. He might get lucky, and not have damage and it might last if cleaned out and reassembled properly, but he might just as easily have rusted bearings that will blow at once. At least if it is torn down, inspected and thoroughly flushed out, he has the chance to inspect it and confirm the condition of the engine, with less risk than simply chancing it and running it with little more than a drain, replace the gasket and go.
