1641 Strip down today

When I put in on my engine stand, first time I rotated it all I could hear was metal pieces bouncing around inside. 
Found nearly every mating face had red silicon sealant on it, even around the main bolt Orings.
Also found a few issues that may make the case unusable -both halves had larger than 5mm deep marks and #2 barrel opening is damaged where barrel seats.
Spun main bearing at pulley end, and rod bearing on #2. The bearing journal on crank is messy and the case bearing seat is destroyed.
All I see is large dollars now.

Oh MY  Angry . I feel for you. Better start a GO Fund Me page.
Better days ahead.
Yesterday is History. Tomorrow a Mystery. Today is the PRESENT.
