I bought the salvage of a previously owned Harley, only to find it had been started up with the crank/cams/valves out of sync and was trashed.
Expensive lesson that was.

I was worried about an idiot starting the car with no oil so i put a sign over the dash display statingf the car had no oil and I also disconnected the battery so it could not accidentially be started.
If I can I will buy the salvage but it depends on the cost.
I'll update as im sure a new sump and gaskets with some oil may resolve the problem as it ran for less than a minute with oil pouring out - in any case, a 2nd hand engine with 100k miles will cost £600 or there abouts so i could swap the engine out if needed -
OR i could attempt to rebuild it myself as a project!!!
I'll let you all know!
