well...i bought the engine form one of the SX guys here in CPT.....as a rebuild as my engine seemed stuffed.
decided to use my engine anyways....and even though makkie stripped the spare engine....only used the water pump from it(my old one is with egine now)
it is is still stripped.....saves one having to do that i suppose...and as for overall condition.....block would need to be sleeved i think(like mine is)......pistons are shot....but conrods good.....head seems okay as far as i can tell.....
that is about it as far as i know of and can tell.....it def can be used again with a bit of machineing here and there....hence the price...cus i dont wanna ask a fortune for it(even thought i paid R2000 for it) and they still have to pay for doing work on it.....

hope that helps :wink:
