Certified or experimental? I would suggest an inspection by your shop.

for the family of the deceased prior owner, and is now selling the engine for
them. It has new gaskets, paint, new mags, etc., and the price is $8,500. It
was run 3.2 hours recently, and has compressions in the low-mid 70s. Would
you buy this engine? I know nothing of the A&P.
