Default I need a diagnosis

Well i picked up a motor yesterday and the person said it had under 60k which i knew was all bullshit. I purchased the motor any cuz it was cheap and i pulled the valve cover and this is what i saw.

Damn that almost looks like ***. If the motors still out put it on a stand and check your rod bearings, and replace them.

When I purchased my old EJ1, the valve cover looked like that.

I slapped an intake on there and beat the hell out of it for 60k miles without issue.

The next owner ended up putting 4 motors in the car within the course of a summer though.
