Don't feel like the Loan Ranger: I put a reconditioned oil tank on a short stroke twin plug MFI engine I build for a very nice RSR replica and it turns out they blasted the tank and didn't clean it before they painted it. Needless to say, everything on the inside was wasted.
Better luck on the next build.
