Questionable listing, insufficient information provided for the engine to be confident of fair rebuild costs. As I noted in the comments there is no intake cam present, and likely no exhaust cam either in the RH head. If exhaust cam was there you would likely see the chain - of course its possible that the chain is laying in the lower crankcase, but unlikely if the exhaust cam were still in place with its sprocket. With that faux pas and nothing mentioned in the listing, either the current or archived, it drops a few red flags. Would be so simple to remove the cam covers to offer a little bit more of a reveal, particularly since the RH bank is only on for 'storage' and likely what has been done on the RH is has been done on the LH as well. Would also be nice to see a basic boroscope image showing the piston crowns to confirm there has not been any damages, though the visible intake and exhaust porting does not indicate this may have occured.
Now, if you were interested in the listing for the gearbox, none of this would matter!
