I have been calling around today for used engines, what should i ask for about an engine, so far I have been asking:

1. Compression readings / leakdown test?
2. Mileage
3. How car was wrecked
4. any headwork or chain replacement
5. Any warranty
6. of course price with shipping.


What else should I be asking to be sure before I buy? And will it matter if mine is an automatic and the engine is from a manual?


Thanks again,

Josh
