ANY Lycoming engine will have the potential for RUST on the camshaft, due to its position in the engine case, it sits UP OUT OF THE OIL level on the top side of the engine case.
Also, could be rusty in the cylinders assemblies AND if the oil was not changed out during that period of time, you might have ACID build up problems and OIL breakdown. ALSO, the engine seals and gaskets may have dried up.
I would highly recommend the following : 1. BORESCOPE the engine 2. Pull off a complete cylinder assembly so you can get a look into the engine and view the camshaft surfaces.
3. If the engine is started and run up, get a AOA OIL SAMPLE TEST KIT and get a fresh sample of the oil after the engine is run up. DO NOT PULL the propeller through if the engine has not been started in all that time !!! GOOD LUCK !!!
