No I’m not sticking up for anyone in this thread. I would have said I agree with reckone and I never said that. Good job on reading comprehension.
Yes, what I’m saying is your friend shouldn’t have assumed a motor could swap with 0 problems unless he actually saw it run flawlessly. I would never swap a motor into a car without first going through it if I knew I needed to count on it for a daily driver. Your friend should have down that too. He learned a valuable lesson on buying used shit.
