why would someone do this

[fredski]

any body remember my post knock knock . this engine purchased
from a model a member and was supposedly been
totally rebuilt, balanced ,adjustable lifters and more. did have a perfect green paint job.
engine is out of car now and apart. rear main bearing is missing
some babbit pieces, lifters are stock, no shims anywhere on rods
or mains. was all so leaking water at bellhousing?/

still have my original engine which leaked oil, and blow by which I will
rebuild the best I can.

just blowing off steam fredski
