Default RE: help identify this engine

If the engine turns over smoothly, I wouldn't take it apart. If it's stiff, use fresh fuel and a hair dryer to loosen it up, then you can mount it on a test stand and try to start it.

The McCoy Red Head was a good engine for the era (late 60s). If it runs well, you can put it in a modern control line plane and fly it.
