You commented the oil was "watery/sluggy" and "black and grayish" (and probably with the grayish streaky through the blackish?)that it also smelled of gas,and that you didn't know how long the previous owner ran it that way. It sounds like it was run (no telling how long, but too long) with both water and gas contamination of the oil, which means reduced lubricating and cooling qualities, which means that every moving part that was supposedly being lubricated and cooled by the oil may have suffered excessive wear and overheating, and as a result may be susceptible to premature failure. Which, in turn, means that, to be safe, you should check everything supposedly oiled: pistons, rings, cyl walls, valve train, cam, ad nauseum, for evidence (like your insert) of wear, scoring and/or overheating.
