ASE MASTER MECHANIC TEST NOTES & FLAWS NOTED DURING TESTING: (1 - RUNNING ENGINE TEST NOTES): Engine runs good especially for this kind of mileage (It may have been replaced alreay?). 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. Water pump feels good, valve cover does appear to have a very small weep / leak so you'll want to replace gasket / seal. Front timing cover & rear mains look are weeping oil.. The oil pan also does not appear to have any leaks. The Supercharger coupler has some play in it so you may want tor replace. Overall a nice looking engine assembly.

In-car test: THIS ENGINE RUNS VERY GOOD FOR THIS KIND OF MILAGE, IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONCE ALREADY. RADIATOR WASN’T HIT SO COOLANT SUPPLY AND OIL COOLER WERE NOT COMPROMISED. PENDING A COMPRESSION TEST AND PHYSICAL CHECK THIS WILL BE A UNIT.

Out-of-car inspection: ENGINE OUT LOOKS GOOD, DID NOTE SMALL OIL LEAK AROUND VALVE COVER AND POSSIBLY FRONT TIMING COVERS AND REAR MAIN. CHECKED SUPERCHARGER AND IT MAY NEED A COUPLER SOON AS I COULD FEELS SOME PLAY WHEN TURNED BY HAND. 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.
