Take the valve cover off and have a look, it's the best barometer to what's going on in the engine and takes only a few minutes. If you're not up for it, take it to an indy. You can refer to both my engine inspection pics (search here for breganzane) and others posted more recently. Even what to me is moderately scary buildup of crud in the timing case is apparently not really an issue.
IIRC 2004's already had the different crankcase with the tube direct to the oil trap, so that might work better than the earlier versions.
At the end of the day it's a lucky dip, if you're really worried just fork out a bit more for something with a warranty, and of course EVERY service record accounted for.
Cheers
Steve
