Please see attached pic. What would cause this and how can it be fixed? Engine is out of the car and was sitting in the car for a couple of years without being run. When last tried to start is appreared to be hydro locked and would not turn over. Appreciate your input and recommendations.

Flooded or really wet storage.

The hydro-lock kills that in my book...

Thats a tear down and inspection for me.

I don't re-use highly rusted parts if there is any way to acquire un-rusted stuff.

The retainers and the springs are most likely trash.
