It just looked funny because I was expecting to see "new" looking parts. I don't know about cosmiline but I have greased them and after awhile it look like varnish on it from sitting. I would have cleaned the stuff up before putting it on ebay for sale though. It wasn't a big deal I am sure it is ok I was just in a goofy mood this morning and got a laugh out of it... The guy also had a DZ 302 Chevy. I had one of those 1178 cranks brand new never been run that my dad had saved for years...sold it on ebay last summer.
I guess it was funny to me cause I sorta expected a "ready to assemble" motor would look more like this one.
