    Engine Replacement

    Just pulled the block out of the box. Not too happy.

    The top of the block along the front has been damaged. Almost beveled all the way across with a nice chunk out of it.





    I'm hoping the machine shop can fix that by just resurfacing it.

    Also one of the bottom bolt holes on the back that the bell housing bolts up to block has a bent guide.

    In the process of returning the block. I found even more damage. It is definitely not in good working order with great cylinders.

    Cylinder two



    Cylinder four



    Those are deep horizontal cracks.

    Indeed. The guy replied to me and said he couldn't see any scratches...really? He tried telling me that it's a good block. I'm not some guy he can try to scam. My college degree is in Aviation Maintenance. I've rebuilt piston and jet engines. I don't know everything, but I think I know a little someone on this subject.

    So I just got a message from eBay stating that the seller accepted my return and issued a refund. It also stated that I don't have to return the item.

    Just got this message from the guy.



    The only thing positive to say is that he processed the refund quickly. Really?

    Damn the money is back in my account already!

    He said he also had the crankshaft for sale on eBay in the listing for the block. Wonder what that looks like.
