(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 leaks or issues found during teardown. (PCV Valve NEEDS REPLACED-THIS IS AN INTRICATE JOB FOR A TRAINED MECHANIC AND IF DONE WRONG WILL CAUSE SWIRL FLAP CODES). Valve cover gaskets appear to be leaking, both front and rear mains look dry. The oil pan also appears to have a small leak starting around gasket. (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.

Turbo notes

NA

Noted: YES SEE COMMENTS

Note: NEED NEW PCV VALVE

In-car test: ENGINE RUNS GREAT, LOTS OF POWER AND NICE IDLE QUALITY. RADIATOR WASN’T HIT SO COOLING SYSTEM WASN’T COMPROMISED. PCV VALVE IS BAD ON THIS ONE AND CAN BE HEARD IN VIDEO WHISTLING AT IDLE. PENDING A COMPRESSION TEST AND PHYSICAL CHECK THIS WILL BE A UNIT.

Out-of-car inspection: OVERALL ENGINE LOOKS GOOD, THIS ENGINE NEEDS PVC VALVE REPLACED, (THIS IS AN INTRICATE JOB FOR A TRAINED MECHANIC AND IF DONE WRONG WILL CAUSE SWIRL FLAP CODES)) NOTED ALSO VALVE COVER GASKETS LEAKING AND POSSIBLE A SMALL OIL LEAK STARTING AROUND OIL PAN. 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.
