The engine builder is going to say that it was fine when it left their place so the OP is going to have to file damage paperwork with the shipper. Good that this was found before it went accoss the pond. I would not even try to see if it is ok. I would just file a damage report, go after the shipper and order another engine after you get your money back on this one. It will/might cost them more to tear it down and check it out than to just pay for a new one.

Just my 2 cents, FWIW.
