I really cant tell how the oil was. When I drained it, it was mixed with water. So it was pretty nasty when it came out. And it has sat for the last two years.

As far as me and the machine guy can tell, this motor has never been taken apart. So the bearings might not look the greatest.

However, I am pretty sure this guy was running the car lean. He was venting to atmosphere, but when he did that, he never closed the BOV return on the Intake tube. He just had a cheapo filter on it. so it was sucking in more air behind the MAF. So i dunno if that would contribute to anything on the bearings.
