To try and address as many questions as possible in as few post as possible, I will start here:

I sent the engine 'as-is', but I did get shipping insurance just in-case something went wrong. I don't have a 928 and as mentioned by Alex, I did not know how to check the end-play so I sent it off in hopes that it was good. The engine was a low mileage unit, but as mentioned it is greater than 30 years old. I had no idea that it was damaged until I was told that there was a break and a piece broke off in shipping.

I was encouraged not to file a claim, so I didn't. Alex said that it would probably cost $300-400 to repair the damage so I said to myself, '$400 isn't too bad' and I should have just refunded him by that amount. Would have been a lot easier.

Instead, we talked about the parts. Requested parts:
MAF - bought from 928 international for $450 shipped

So at that, I'm out. I wasn't at fault for the damage and was encouraged not to file a claim.
Let me know if anyone is looking to give away the following parts for free:
Engine computers (both)
Ignition amps w/wiring x2
Airbox
Ignition coils and brackets

I was warned that a smear job was in the works, but I had no time to devote to finding and shipping all of these parts. Over the past few years I've maybe sold a handful of parts on pelican and I'm not on rennlist.
