How long can a diesel sit? It was winterized, but has not been run for a few years. Rust issues in cylinders?
Borescope is good idea. Would likely spray some solvent in cylinders to free up rings
Mystery Oil ??
Bar over crankshaft with a wrench at least two turns. If it turns smooth, unlikely that there is significant corrosion in any of the holes.
After that, I would have no problem trying a normal start.
Much more stuff to check out before buying, but that is another topic.

AD41p from 1994? 24 yrs old with low hours?
In 2000 I sold a pair of 20 yr old TMD40s with 4500 hrs. I asked $500 each, or the pair for $7500. I advertised in fisherman trade mags, after about 4 months got a purcahser. He took one engine, didn't haggle over the price, then came back and got the second engine, so I got the full $7500.
You should value yours around the same.
Wow! I would have bought them separately for $1000. [grin]
