I hate thinking about buying engines that are not in cars and running. At least you can take them for a fang and feel for faults.
Anyway, I think you need to invest in a compression tester. This will help you get an idea of what the rings, valves and pistons conditions are. I would also check the colour of the oil, look for leaks around gaskets, check the points for wear, spark plug condition (running lean/rich etc). Check things that you would try and keep in good condition because it will give you an idea of how the previous owner did/didnt look after it.
What you other guys reckon?
