With the R3.5k rattlecan "rebuilds" being sold on gumtree people need to be very cautious when buying "recon" engines.

In general, unless I have physical evidence of an engine's provenance, I treat all used engines as scrap and pay accordingly.

If you want to sell a used engine as reconditioned, important information to make available to potential buyers includes:
* Who built the engine
* Who did the machining
* What parts (including brands) were used (provide receipts)
* Sizes of cuts to case, crank and bores; info on cam reprofiling
* Modifications (eg, "hotter" camshafts, big bore P&Cs, etc)
* Compression ratio

etc, etc, etc

Caveat emptor.

Thank you Fig,

Very wise words.

Something you can testify about, .............. MARK.

Do not do it the 2nd time.

All 2nd hand motors are SCRAP, ( I see them as "Parts Only")

exactly as FIG said,

then you will not go wrong.
