    RD-25D 40 HP reconditioning

    Posssibly but the beast was dormant for nearly half it's life and may have less than 500 hrs. If the owner TLC'd before storage (oiled) it may need little work to wake it up. A teardown is likely beyond most. I have never been so unlucky as to do open heart surgery .
