(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 and front main have slight oil weep, rear main looks dry. The oil pan also appears leak-free. 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.

Turbo notes

SOME AUDIBLE WASTE GATE RATTLE ON COLD START

Noted: right vavle cover leaks

Noted: little bit on front main seal

Note: turbos waste gate little play

In-car test: ENGINE RUNS GOOD, NICE IDLE QUALITY AND LOTS OF POWER ON TEST DRIVE. RADIATTOR WASNT HIT SO COOLING SUPPLY WASNT COMPROMISED. Pending a compression test and physical check this will be a unit.

Out-of-car inspection: the front main seal has little leak and the right valve cover turbo waste gates have little play

Road test: the car ran good it was really snappy and fast
