John, I'm an absolute Wasser Boxer dummy.
I changed the oil and adjusted the valves on one ........... that is it,
no other experience.
I drove a 87 Syncro about 30 miles on a test drive, wasn't that
impressed.
I like the idea of somebody just driving up and dropping an engine in
free of charge though.
The last time I got something for nothing with free delivery was back in
the mid 60s ........... it was a sucker punch from some guy that I didn't
even know, had never seen before and had never spoken to.
Oh! Buy the way, I got thrown in jail in Macon Georgia back in 1960 for
speeding (Navy guy then).
We negotiated with the judge and left with only paying about a $28.00
fine. He didn't bother about supplying a receipt.
