Sadly, this engine has a major crack on the left side panel by the metal lever. I almost missed it, as the black-on-black coloring does a great job of concealing, but there’s no denying it’s a deep crack and not just a surface scratch. The remainder of the body and frame are in great shape; I’d grade this engine a C6/7 were it not for the damage.
