That is exactly what the Ford garage I worked at many years ago would do, in analyzing engines especially GM trade in's. When Pontiac was having all that trouble with their nylon gear timing gears giving up the ghost, the garage did that a number of times to see what else the owners had been doing, what kind of abuse those engines may have had. That was real common in the late 60's early 70's Ponchos.
