ASE Master Mechanic Inspection
Hands-on tested before listing by MKF on January 3, 2025
ASE MASTER MECHANIC TEST NOTES & FLAWS NOTED DURING TESTING: (1 - RUNNING ENGINE TEST NOTES): Engine runs good. It starts right up, idle is nice and smooth, and wide open throttle snap sounds good. The oil quality looks good and there is no smoke from tail pipes. There are no unusual noises from operating engine; (2 - POST REMOVAL INSPECTION NOTES): Engine overall looks good. Valve cover gasket does appear to show signs of oil weep as well as the oil pan gasket. Front and rear main seals look nice & dry. Overall a very healthy & nice looking engine assembly with pretty low miles for it's age.

ENGINE ASSEMBLY
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.
