What this guide covers
Eligible engines are checked before packing. Compression that is even across cylinders matters more than one high number.
Leak-down helps when a diesel or petrol unit was run on the stand.
Fitment
A perfect test on the wrong code still fails fitment. Tests never replace the VIN check.
What the workshop checks
Ask for the readings if they are not on the page. Compare cylinder-to-cylinder spread, not only the peak.
Oil pressure notes, where taken, belong with the same file.
How to choose a listing
Prefer listings that publish inspection notes. Grade A/B language on generated units reflects that file.
Warranty
Eligible engines carry a warranty of up to 12 months after a correct installation by a workshop. The warranty covers eligible internal failure. It does not cover a mismatched fitment, a dry start, the wrong oil, or damage caused after the crate is opened.
Shipping
Crane crates from Hamburg is a flat 299,00 €. The engine is packed for freight and delivered to the address on the order. A forklift or an engine crane is required at delivery. The shipment is arranged to the destination the buyer provides.
