Golden on the inside, at least looking under the oil cap. Didn't see any leaks. However there's a lot of rust, chipping, and wear. There's also some oil spilling on the block here and there. I'm guessing it's probably from other engines. These guys have the engines stuffed into large crates, and the crates are stacked on top of each other. I can think of a million ways that oil could get there.
Can't say I liked how the engines are stored, rubbing against each other, and I didn't like how the guy pulled it out while hitting other engines. I'm sure the blocks are strong, but still...who knows how much rougher they handle them when nobody's looking.
Anyway, I wasn't too impressed with this motor. Granted I haven't really looked at many engines, so maybe they're all like that. I was told new ones comes in every two weeks or so. I'm inclined to wait for the next one.
The place itself isn't bad. Overall the people were quite nice and helpful. Also it's pretty close to home, offers 1 year warranty, and the shipping would be free. Big bonus, that one.
$900 for the engine, btw.

Thoughts? Am I correct in not wanting to buy this engine?
Thanks.
