I agree with Spare, if the crank is rusty, move on. There should have been some head gaskets when the heads came off. Those heads look to be pitted, if it was into recently someone might have tried to silicone the pitting.

I thought that was odd to not have gaskets. There is an o-ring at each cylinder, but only black silicone around the edge of the head. There is a bit of pitting. I guess its pretty bad in a couple spots. Sounds like I may have gotten hose on the eBay engine from Jupiter? The seller was a police officer who appeared to deal in used marine engines on the side. I paid $2500 for it last February.
