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. Sounds like accessory belt may have popped off so will need to inspect once engine out. (2 - POST REMOVAL INSPECTION NOTES): Engine overall looks good but the Alternator, Water Pump & A/C Compressor all took a little hit and have small dings on the pulleys so I suggest replacing because I predict they will cause wear to belts..valve cover gasket doesn't appear to be leaking oil. Front and rear mains look dry. The oil pan also does not appear to have any leaks. The turbo feels good. Overall a pretty nice engine assembly with relatively lower miles.

Note: ALTERNATOR, WATERPUMP AND AC PUMP PULLEYS HIT

In-car test: ENGINE STARTS AND RUNS GOOD, SMOOTH IDLE. SOUNDS LIKE ACCESORY BELT POPPED OFF WHEN IT RUNS ( CAN BE HEARD IN VIDEO) SO WILL NEED TO INSPECT THAT WHEN IT COMES OUT. PENDING A COMPRESSION TEST AND PHYSICAL CHECK THIS WILL BE A UNIT.

Out-of-car inspection: OVERLL LOOKS GOOD, DID NOTE THAT THE WATER PUMP PULLEY, AC COMPRESSOR PUMP AND ALTERNATOR HAVE SMALL DINGS IN ALTERNATOR PULLEYS. WOULD SUGGEST REPLACING SUSPECT ITEMS OR USING THE PART S OF CUSTOMERS ENGINE IF IN BETTER SHAPE AS THESE WILL PREMATURELY WEAR THE BELT. AS ALWAYS, RECOMMEND ANY SERVICE AND WEAR ITEMS SUCH AS TIMING CHAINS, BELTS, GUIDES , TENSIONERS, SPARK PLUGS , INJECTORS, PUMPS, SEALS ,GASKETS AND FILTER BE SERVICED BEFORE ENGINE BE PUT BACK INTO SERVICE.
