If its not the correct engine, I hope you would be able to return it.  I believe they will give you back your money.  Anyway, if you need any help in getting another engine I would be glad to assist but no promises.  I know one mechanic who deals with Chan Auto regularly.  So hopefully they wont simply sell the engine without ascertaining its condition.  I was told by my mechanic that the best is to get the engine direct from the half cut itself (the engine has not been dismantled). Preferably not when the engine has been taken off the body.  If possible to check the mileage of the car and to look at the body of the car.  That way you could find out why the car was written off. When we went to look for my engine, my mechanic looked at the oil seals. Soft oil seals mean that the engine is still in good condition.  He also looked into some holes? I could see some is it piston or what I dont know and he said that the condition of the engine was very good.  I am happy with what I have got thus far and I am happy with what my mechanic at JT has done.  The engine now is smoother and quiter than the one I had earlier.</blockquote>
