Hello friends,
Thank you for the nice words.
Unfortunately the things are not going well for me so far.
The engine arrived, but even before unloading it we saw the oil is mixed with coolant. And the carburator was a mess!!
So it was obvious I can not put the engine and use it as is. The description of the seller was that I can 'use the engine as is'.
We opened it and it turned out that both head gaskets are blown. You can see pictures of the gaskets and the carburator.

I asked the seller for a compensation, but he refused. He said that this is a normal wear for a 35 year old engine. He said he can give me the money back if I return him the engine at my expense. The shipping back to the US is more than I paid for the engine. I bought the engine from Ebay, but the deadline to open a case expired one month before the engine to arrive in my country.
What do you guys think? What should I do? Do you think I have enough ground to seek my rights and to ask a compensation, or I should not have to expect anything better than I've got?
