Note: NEEDS NEW THROTTLE BODY. FAULT 0189 DTC SET.
In-car test: ENGINE RUNS GOOD, NO SMOKE CAN BE SEEN FROM TAIL PIPE AND IDLE IS NICE AND SMOOTH. LOOKS LIKE A KEEPER IF COMPRESSION NUMBERS ARE GOOD.
Out-of-car inspection: FLAWED ENGINE FOR A BAD THROTTLE BODY. IT SET FAULT 0189 FOR MECHANICAL JAM, NOT A HUGE DEAL BUT CUSTOMER SHOULD USE THEIRS OR GET A NEW ONE. LEAVING THIS ONE ON ENGINE TO PREVENT DEBRIS FROM ENTERING INTAKE. OVERALL THIS ENGINE LOOKS GREAT THOUGH, REAR MAIN IS NICE AND DRY AS IS FRONT MAIN. ONLY SLIGHT WEEPING OF OIL AROUND VALVE COVER AND THE WATER PUMP FEELS NICE AND TIGHT.

First-start note: we treat every engine with fogging oil to protect the cylinders in storage and transit. A little smoke on first start-up is normal and expected — it should clear within about 30 minutes of normal running as the fogging oil burns off.
