Sounds like the donor car rolled... And motor still running on its side or roof

A motor with 6k should look brand spanking inside

Did you pay the guy through paypal ?

the engine is clean inside , only black oil but all the alloy is clean . think that when the guy tested the engine if it was a runner he sucked in all the dirt that would have been in the air intake as I have found all bits of plastic that must have Brocken off in the pipes . I deposited the money directly into his account as he had no paypall. just not happy why the carbon on the pistons has flacked off on some spots ?

what about the score marks up and down ? my neighbour is a mechanic and he was concerned about it .if I was a mechanic my self I would not ask these questions ,I am not and that is why I ask . ps the guy that sold the engine to me said to assemble the engine again and send it back to him ,if it is all I have said and same as the pic I have send to him he will refund the money back to me . wow I am amazed . still waiting for the engine builder to arrive this week to look at the engine

Oh rightio! Understand the Comp test then...

Sounds like your winding your self up a bit and all our opinions (myself included) can send your head all over the shop

Just wait until the engine builder with a good set of eyes and good engine knowledge has a look at it

Don't stress to much your doing a full rebuild anyways

lol ,its just my righting that makes me sound upset or cranky . I am German and not the best at getting my point across . look I like everyone's input ,and I know that I no not much about engines or how they are suppose to look inside after 6000 klm .just the rollers look scored to me and the bores as well . I had the sump of on my ba engine and there were no score makes in the bores and it has over 100.000 klm on it
