IMHO, the previous owner had to have known what happened. Not completely cleaning the engine mid-section, IE oil pan, then the catastrophic seizure in four months??? And No warranty??? Selling the motor cheap?? Sounds like this person don't need to own anything that requires some semblance of proper Maintenace, let alone close to rebuilding anything...Man what a mess...
Proud to have served with and supported the Units I was in: 1st IDF, 9th INF, 558th USAAG (Greece), 7th Transportation Brigade, 6th MEDSOM (Korea), III Corp, 8th IDF, 3rd Armor Div.
