Buying an engine without solid knowledge of its internal condition & completeness is a big risk.

Totally agree, unless they were stored correctly and rotated according to a schedule then they're all going to need to come apart and check all the internals before hitting the "Go" button.
Would be a waste to spend $11k, go to the trouble to install only to have it detonate because a bearing had seized or a ring breaks.
