Buying used motors is such a crap shoot....
A buddy bought a "fresh rebuild" - paid too much - was sold a big story... When I pulled a valve cover it was obvious that the valve train was DRY as a bone - not a single dab of assembly lube... to which I said "oh oh"... better pull the pan as long as we're here... Yep -- dry as a bone -- bearings were SHOT -- pulled the intake off -- and there was a CAN stuck between two pushrods... and then the heads came off -- masking tape stuck to the bottom of the heads in a couple places.... cylinder walls scored...
Bottom line -------- CHECK IT OUT BEFORE YOU BUY. A good deal ain't such a good deal when you get screwed.
