I ordered an engine with just over 57 thousand miles on it from Engine and Transmission World (ETW). All seemed to be good. I received my engine in the time frame that was stated by ETW. When the engine arrived at the shop I was impressed. It was clean, painted. shrink wrapped and on a pallet. The mechanic calls me the next day, after the engine has been installed, to let me know there were no valve cover gaskets on the engine (1 hour job). Later that day he calls to tell me there is no oil pan gasket on the engine (4 hour job). The following day he calls to tell me the head gasket is leaking (16 hour job). When I purchased the engine, ETW did not disclose that all of the gaskets need to be replaced before install. After contacting them they explained that there should have been a tag on the engine, when delivered, that stated the work needing to be done before install. Unfortunately the tag also had the delivery info on it, which was face up when delivered, so it was not noticed by my mechanic and was discarded. The gaskets had been removed in the sludge checking process by ETW and the parts were reinstalled without even the old gaskets. The point of all of this is that all of the information on the tag should have been disclosed before purchase and not found out after the engine is installed. The only thing stated before purchase is that the thermostat need to be replaced. Engine-$1,100/install-$800/valve cover gaskets-$75/oil pan gasket-$300/head gaskets-$1,200= $3,475. Knowing what needed to be replaced before install "PRICELESS" I now have 1000 miles on the engine and it seems to bee ok. A perfect example of buyer beware!!!
