(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. I did note oil leaks around valve covers, oil filter stand possibly pcv valve and rear timing cover. Needs new belt tensioners/idler pullies. Noted coolant leaking from the plastic coolant pipes as well, very typical but needs addressed. Front main looks dry. The oil pan also appears leak-free. (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.

Overall test result

Yes

Start quality

Good

Idle quality

Good

Output under load

Wide open throttle snap good.

Oil quality

Good

Smoke from tailpipes

None

Unusual engine noise

None

Turbo notes

NA

Noted: VALVE COVER ARE LEAKING OIL

Noted: oil filter stand and /or pcv leaking oil

Noted: possibly rear timing cover has oil weep

Note: The plastic coolant pipe at front of engine are aging and they all tend to wear out around the same time so I would suggest just replacing them all.

Note: idler and tensioner pullies are showing signs of wearing and should be replaced.

In-car test: Engine runs well, idle is smotth and wide open snap sounds good. radiator wasnt hit so cooling system wasnt compromised. Pending a compression test and physical check this will be a unit.

Out-of-car inspection: Overall engine looks good. did note oil leaks around valve covers, oil filter stand possibly pcv valve and rear timing cover. noted will need new belt tensionerss/ idler pullies. did note coolant leaking from the plastic coolant pipes as well. As always, I 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 is put back into service.
