Toss it in the trash I had 2 of those poof both had connecting rod failures...I run a OS .18 CV-R in mine and modified the crappy XTM Clutch Bell setup that constantly would fall apart when bashing. My Xcell keeps right up with my Jato and gets it tough off the line since the xtm modified clutch has 0 slip when wot from stand still

Take the engine a part, most likely is rust for storage the engine too long without after run oil.
