I'd do a compression test to see what's up there. I'd do all 8 cylinders, also to check on the general condition of the engine.

Rebuilders put that doo-dad, usually on a block surface. It's some kind of a tell tale that melts if the engine is ever over heated.

I'd also run it, as is, to see how it does.
