Looks like you have the iron tensioners, do you know if they have been replaced before or not?

If your engine looks like that, I am really scared for its longevity.

It was horribly neglected.

I've never seen the inside of a Mod motor turn orange.

Weird.

Cool story bro, I'm referring to the inside of the engine.

It only turns that color from gross neglect.

This was mine (for reference) when I opened it up to replacing some timing parts at 214k miles on the motor.
