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 & timing covers both are leaking oil so I recommend replacing / sealing before putting engine back into service. The oil pan also does not appear to have any leaks. The turbo feels a bit on the worn side and I can feel some axial play so customer might want to replace or use theirs if still good but you may get some more life out of it as is. Overall a nice looking engine assembly.

In-car test: OVERALL ENGINE LOOKS GOOD. IDLE IS NICE AND SMOOTH AND WIDE OEN SNAP SOUNDS GOOD. RADIATOR WASN’T HIT SO COOLANT SUPPLY AND OIL COOLERS NOT COMPROMISED.PENDING A COMPRESSION TEST AND PHYSICAL CHECK THIS WILL BE A UNIT.

Out-of-car inspection: ENGINE LOOKS GOOD, DID NOTE A COUPLE OF OIL LEAKS AROUND VALVE COVER AND TIMING COVERS. THE TURBO IS ON THE WORN SIDE AND I CAN FEEL SOME AXIAL PLAY (MIGHT GET SOME MORE LIFE OUT BUT I SUGGEST CUSTOMER USES THEIRS). 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.
