O-200 sitting idle for years

I am close to pulling the trigger on buying a 2008 AMD Zodiac 601 XLi with 50 hours on airframe and engine (O-200).  The plane was in the Midwest from 2008 to 2020 and has been in Florida since 2020.   The last time is flew was when it was moved to Florida.   Nice plane but I am concerned about possible corrosion.   Compression is in the high 70s.   Any advice on checking for corrosion?   Borescope the cylinders, etc?  Any other words of wisdom?See More
