Someone told me if you can, check the compression, turn the crank to see if its not locked up, also see what kind of warranty they have on it, and what kind of warranty, if it is for running condition or certified rebuildable. look at the block and make sure there are no holes in it. i just had a locked motor and my friend pulled the oil pan and found metal, then went to the spark plugs, pushed down on it and had room to move, then took a second oil pan off and found 2 rods were murdered, and then found 4 holes in the block.
