I am yet another victim of this seller (see the 'other' strokermotors thread). In addition to selling me a "newly rebuilt" engine with two cracks in the engine block, one by each freeze plug (obviously he did not have the block magnafluxed like he claimed), the intake manifold was put on with the gaskets installed BACKWARDS! This obviously restricted the
antifreeze flow. The shop that is re-rebuilding this engine said it was amazing that it even ran (I drove it for about 800 miles). I'm attaching a pic of the engine, you can see the gasket installed backwards. When I send him this photo, he didn't respond (of course)...If anyone wants to hear more, send me an email, I won't bother posting the whole sad story here......
