[QUOTE="InDaShop, post: 230488, member: 1295"] WORD! I have gone a very very long time without getting pooched, but it happened about 2 months ago on a Jeep 3.7l motor. I needed the motor, couldnt find one (2002-2003)anywhere, found this dude, I went looked it it. Pulled a valve cover, and spun it over by hand. Guy said "it was a fresh rebuild" and showed me what it came out of and told me who rebuilt it. We negotiated price, and whamo I hauled it home thinking I solved my dilema. Ha ha I got screwed, the other head I didnt pull the cover on (total luck of the draw) had the lifters nearly falling off the rockers, and it had a spun bearing. Short of tearing the motor down right there before I bought it I would have never caught the spun bearing. The lifters.....well now I know to slow down and pop both covers like I've always done.
