i picked up my new motor today now what

I thought I found a cherry when I bought my 12v with 62k. This is what I found.

It came out of a wrecked truck that sat in a barn for a long time. The old farmer would go out and start it and let it idle. It had what looked like rust built up on the head enough to smash the top of the piston. The crud scrapped off with a finger nail. Seized the top ring in the piston but never hurt the cylinder. I honed the cylinder and installed a new piston and rings along with new rod bearings on all.

I got lucky, unlike the op.
 
looks like i got lucky on this one it will hone out just some aluminum stuck to the wall somehow the piston got a littel warm in that spot not sure if something got in there or it melted the skirt
