That's really the problem, I have no idea what to look for except nice freshly milled iron and I don't have the tools to check it. Sounds like a good deal if it is what he says it is but you never know for sure.



Keep in mind that in any machine-shop thread on here, lots of people will tell you to double check their work and measure everything. So you can get a $4000 rebuild or $1100 rebuilt engine - same advice to remeasure it.

As mentioned, if you get good vibes from teh guy, take a chance. If you have some time, buy $3-400 worth of measuring tools and a blueprinting book and learn about measuring while become familiar with your new engine. Might last forever and be the cheapest engine you'll ever buy.
