Brent,

I recommend a contingency purchase.

1) Leak down test top and bottom.
2)Compression test.....consistent across all cylinders.
3) Run out at the rear crank.
4)Hold back dollars until it runs in your car with no issues.
5) Ask for the sonic map of the block before it was built.
6) Receipts for the parts that are claimed to be inside.
7) Machine shop receipts and tolerances.

If the seller balks at any of this ...HUGE red flag.

There are probaly other suggestions others can add here. Talk to George for some recommendations. BUYER BEWARE !!!!!!

Tony R.
