Here are three reasons why buying a used engine is scary, you never know if some joker tried to rebuild it on the cheap:

Mercedes Engine
I Rebuilt mine a few years ago and here are the options I considered.
Mercedes rebuild from dealer $12,500.00 Metric motors rebuild $8,000 Junk Yard motor $200 I rebuilt it myself in my apartment! For $3,700 long block I blueprint and balanced the whole thing and rods. New mercedes oil pump and sleeves. New pistons and many parts. If I had to do it over again I would Buy a new crank for $550 But I had the crank ground so I have beefier bearings. I would also powder coat the aluminum parts instead of bead blasting and clear coating them. So It looks like one of Jay Leno's cars Shark

So, despite the insult, though, if you get the engine for practically nothing, who cares?
