A $10K+ refund would mean $10K+ for a rebuilt Carrera 3.0 engine which looks like a great deal given that's the engine you want. It's relatively rare, isn't it ? On the other hand, $1K sounds too low. Needs to be worked out.
Have you confirmed the damages are indeed cosmetic ?

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.

Didn't know there were no straps. Yes, another boneheaded mistake then, this is surprising if the seller's an experienced one. There's no excuse for not having them. But, having said that, I always ask for pics of any shipment prior. You could have done that and perhaps avoided this.
