Default Known 1440 problems.

I drove past the scrap yard today and they have a 1440 sitting there, it's missing all the plastic and a few other items but has AG's and a deck on it and they only want $40 for it. I rolled the engine over by hand and it feels like it has compression but I noticed two head bolts missing on the one side. What are some of the more common issues with these engines? Other than changing oil I have no experience with a Briggs engine.
