(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. (2 - POST REMOVAL INSPECTION NOTES): Engine overall looks solid with no major issues found during teardown. Valve cover needs replaced as it has a broken CCV Valve. Small oil leak around oil pan, filter stand area and rear main seal. Turbo has a lot of play, recommend replacing prior to installation. (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.

In-car test: ENGINE RUNS GOOD, IDLE IS SMOOTH IT HAS A LEAKING CCV VALVE SO VALVE COVER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED PENDING A COMPRESSION TEST AND PHYSICAL CHECK THIS WILL BE A UNIT.

Out-of-car inspection: OVERALL ENGINE LOOKS GOOD, NEEDS NEW VALVE COVER AS IT HAS A BROKEN CCV VALVE. DID NOTE A LITTLE OIL LEAK AROUND OIL PAN, FILTER STAND AREA AND REAR MAIN SEAL.TURBO HAS A LOT OF AXIAL PLAY AND WOULD SUGGEST CUSTOMER USE THIERS. 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.
