Hello there people , Im the seller. I must speak up here as it's been very one sided here. I feel i'm not in the wrong here, as the engine seals and works perfectly.

Harvey,
The scratches are superficial. The engine has been serviced throughout its life, and has had no problem with mating surfaces between each service. (No air leaks). I did not mislead you, I told you about the insignificant marks. If you would like to make these less visible use some very fine polishing/sand paper. But ultimately this isn't required. Just advice. The remedial machine work you mentioned is obviously not necessary. The engine is as shown in photos and as described. Also rebuilt with Nachi 6001 C3 bearings and NTK seals. The bottom end is ready for use, there is not a valid reason for a refund here.
