Customer purchased this motor from someone to save time. Was suppose to be a fresh motor ... I will let the pictures do the talking

 

Yikes! That sucks ass!

 

Damn thats gotta suck. i remember those days

 

It actually looks to be fresh.
It looks like someone put it together in a dirty environment, got particles on the bearings during installation, and didn't use sufficient assembly lube, or any for that matter.
Either way, it doesn't matter how fresh it is, it's in need of another rebuild.

 

I learned my lesson on buying ANY moving part on TR. Got screwed for over 1k with a "fresh" tranny. Fuck the assholes selling parts like this on here.

 

details on not where to buy a motor from? was this from someone on TR or a website that sells swaps?????

 

He did but I dont know who. He got his money back though We're building him the new motor. Lesson learned

Boostin'Xr4. You're right. A lot of dirt, rust on the rings which made them useless, crank turned, crank still needed polished, tangs faced wrong, different rods, different rod bolts, etc.

 

someone would have got the shit slapped out of them

 

or shot

 

Yup. It sounds like an inexperienced engine builder did a quick rebuild and cut alot of corners because he didn't know any better. Then, once his "fresh" engine was fired up, he realized it was knocking, so he pulled it and most likely got a known-to-be-good engine or got it professionally rebuilt because he now knows he isn't experienced enough to do the rebuild himself.
Been there, bought that.
Never again. I hear the engine run, or you cut me a CHEAP deal.
