(1 - RUNNING ENGINE TEST NOTES): Engine runs great, starts right up, idle is smooth, and wide-open throttle snap sounds good. Oil quality looks good and there's no smoke from the tailpipes. No unusual noises heard from the operating engine. THIS ENGINE DOES NOT INCLUDE WIRING HARNESS (2 - POST REMOVAL INSPECTION NOTES): Engine overall looks solid with no major issues, but some minor leaks found during final inspection. Valve covers, oil cooler and oil pan have minor leaks, both front and rear mains look dry. Turbo feels tight with minimal radial or axial play, and wastegates have typical movement. (3 - SHOULD ALWAYS BE DONE): Replacement of timing components, plugs, injectors, pumps, seals, gaskets, hoses, and filters should be done prior to installation for long-term reliability.
