I haven't decided to go look at it yet, figuring that if I go to look I will buy it.

The guys story was as follows:

"The PV valve didnt work - the PV valve is what the oil goes through to the motor and it didnt let the oil through."

So I don't have much idea what really happened or how bad it is. Apparently it starts and runs but smokes. I'd need to get it to my house which is probably 50 miles and I dont know if it would make it. The guy has had it to a dealer (wanted 5,000 to fix) and it is now at an independent shop but he is wanting to sell it if he can.

I'd looked at used motors a few months ago and I didnt like the looks of that scenario. I would have ended up with at least 1k in that and would not have had any idea what I really had where if my guy can rebuild it at least it would be known.

Jerry,

In the event you are reading this thread, about how much is a crate motor and shipping to Oklahoma?
