Re: why would someone do this
'Caveat Emptor' .... "Let the buyer beware". It sounds like you bought a spray can rebuild.
I once bought a "good used block" and had it baked clean and magnafluxed; a crack was found and an attempt to do a "lock stitch" repair failed. It could not be repaired and was scrapped. The purchase price plus the machine shop bill was several hundred dollars for what turned out to be a boat anchor. It turned out the only thing useable in that engine was the crankshaft. I since learned to only buy used parts on a money back guarantee basis. Good luck with your rebuild.
