The determining factor is the warranty, they craftily determined that there was no long term warranty which rendered the motor “used”. The tariff/freight refs allow I think $5/lb for new engines.
Show me the quote. I don't see how this exceeds 15 hours work and the builder's provided parts.
You paid ten grand for this work and you didn't get a warranty? You are a very trusting man. I wouldn't buy any rebuild job that didn't have one.
