[QUOTE="Trikky2, post: 577670, member: 240"] Yes the first one is stamped as having been reconditioned by VW. I have seen these before and never had any issues. The thing you need to know is how much wear there has been since the recon work - same as with an original engine. Checking the end float and a compression test should give a clue, though if the engines have been laying around for some time you may get poor compression readings due to mild corrosion, which may clear up when the engine is run for a bit.
