The guy is telling you that the engine is screwed up, but it's probably worse than what you think, worse than what he is telling you. A good transmission is worth 3 or 4 times what he is asking for his.

Take the swamp land deal in Florida... you won't get screwed as bad.

Yeah, well... after you've been bent over and had it stuck to you, your butt hole just automatically starts to hurt when you read something like this.

Seems common sense isn't handed out to everybody.
