It's STILL a VERY nice looking engine. I'll be very happy to have that, scratches and all, in my car.
Sucks, yeah but good luck with this !

It’s the cost to repair the damages that’s the issue. I have a quote for well over $10k. Would you be happy to have it if you paid $23k? Especially for a motor without scratches when you made the deal? Not at fault for merely screwing a 300+ lb motor with wood screws? Two ratchet straps on a bare pallet without wood blocks and without screws would have limited the damage to the valve cover.
