So to me it looks like the motor fell in the ocean on the way over.... I just can't believe how much oxidation there is on it.

Here's the best part - instead of draing the oil thru the DRAIN plug they drilled a hole in the oil pan and then stuffed some cotton type fiber in it!

Well looking down the intake, it looks pretty clean in there!! No carbon oil soot buildup like my previous motor.....

Plus the recess in the head between the valve covers is not filled with chocolate pudding crap like my previous motor!

and looking down the down the oil fill cap, it also looks pretty clean inside.

Well thats all the pictures for now..... Hopefully the outside appearance doesn't refect the inside of the motor!
