Hmmm, lots of opinions...
In spite of contrary opinions from folks in the group, until the engine
is found to be airworthy I will continue to maintain that engine has
core value only... He can't prove that the connecting rod numbers are
correct, that the bearing numbers are correct, that the internal bolts
were correctly torqued, and on, and on -

He couldn't prove that with the log book either.

If he can get the appropriate records from the overhaul shop
(the form formerly known as the yellow tag) and can verify
the mainenance since, then there's no real airworthiness
problem (either in actuality or in the FAA paperwork realm).
