Default RE: Used Engine Advice

Buying a used engine unseen is always risky. Most engines can be damaged by one lean run some are rendered worthless.

I like to see, smell and at least turn it over by hand. I have had some real bargains this way

I have often heard the phrase used sell it on ebay after a crash, lean run or just having problems so caveat emptor.
