    If it isn't all sludged to shit, doesn't smoke, knock, screech, squeak, rattle or pop, I could care less what it looks like. What is so hard to understand?
    Do you have one of those for sale? Of course, since it is not visually appealing on the outside it does take away from the price, right?

    And that, in itself is an ignorant statement. That engine has a lot of grime on it. It could be that grime got into places that could not be cleaned unless the engine was dismantled as much as it has been in the pictures provided. The leaves could have been there from the time the engine was in the car to just seconds before the pics were taken. Looking at the windage tray and oil pump inlet there doesn't seem to be any sludge buildup which means at least oil may have been changed faithfully. Basically there's not way to tell in these pictures how the owner treated this engine. Those who do say such things are usually self-righteous, Zaino/diaper applying douche bags who really do not have a clue nor want one. Basically my initial comment to you was also in jest, because what you said was just so ridiculous.

    As you say, it could be either scenario. So not really that ignorant on my part. But I see where your comments are coming from given the stereotypical thought process.

    I'm going to have to say...properly maintaining your engine is how you throw rods. I mean, what else could cause it? Fluids and filters are good forever!

    Ah. So it was answer B!

    I already know your answer, because I do this everyday.

    Answer A: "I'm just trolling and actually agree with you"

    Answer B: "You don't know me or my engines!"

    Answer C: "Well I wouldn't buy a used engine on principal. I rebuild my engines with my bare hands... literally, no wrenches or tools. I create intake gaskets by biting holes out of cardboard and shoving the bolts through it. I use recycled motor oil as self tanner. I drink ATF and piss gear oil. I make valves out of a billet with a nail file."

    When my dad picked up my 72 c10 the crank was in 3 pieces in the oil pan.
