ASE Master Mechanic Inspection

Hands-on tested before listing by MKF on October 14, 2024

ASE MASTER MECHANIC TEST NOTES & FLAWS NOTED DURING TESTING: (1 - RUNNING ENGINE TEST NOTES): Engine runs good. It starts right up, has a little wastegate rattle on cold start buth that is typical of these engines. 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. Water pump feels good, valve cover gasket, oil filter housing & oil pan gasket are leaking & need new gaskets or sealed. There is evidence of water getting into the last spark plug near firewall (this is a common problem from leaking rain cowls) Front and rear mains look dry. Overall a nice looking engine assembly.

ENGINE ASSEMBLY

Important item note OIL LEAKS SEE PICS

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.
