That is what I thought when he told me about it on the phone, but when I went to the shop to check it out, it was wobbling pretty hardcore. I could hear the pistons moving funny. It didnt sound right under the hood. I knew that there were tolerences, but this thing was all over the place. It had made uneven groves and mild cracks in it.
This engine has about 65,xxx on it. But the crappy part is, that the guy in Indiana keeps the core as part of the deal. At least now my trans and engine will be closer on mileage.
