changed the oil, and it's running surprisingly smooth.
If it were for an engine i want to keep running and not worry about it shitting the bed, flush it a few times. you can use a half a quart of atf mixed with the oil to break up sludge, run it through, then flush it without atf once or twice after.
also check the front and rear main seals.

yea oil isnt that bad its still liquidy...lol just pretty dam black...also got a new front main seal..

i have used seafoam before but NEVER in oil just through a vac line..

Sometimes you need to do some serious inspections on the spot before you buy. but your case doesnt seem bad at all really. good luck
