They have needle and roller bearings supporting the crank and rods. You can give each cylinder a squirt or two of simple outboard oil in place of MMO as well. Doing this will usually only lube the cylinders and rings and not get into the bearings. I have brought many many of these particular engines back into service. They are much simpler than you may be thinking. The chance of it only being a parts engine is close to zero from sitting that long. </blockquote>
