Engine room showing showing the engine without its head. Combustions chambers and oil/water passages are covered with rags to avoid dirt coming inside. Fuel output lines from the fuel pump are capered with masking tape for the same reason. Note the silt accumulated around the head gasket. This boat sank 2 weeks after it came out from the builder (Russia). The story is that it got loaded with ice during an ice storm, but must likely it was just an insurance scam. They didn't do much to the boat/engine after they lifted it up again, and it shows.
