Back close to 4 yrs ago i drove from S.C. to Indiana to purchase a 511ci
i told the guy to keep it in the car i wanted to hear it run....i got there and heard the engine run, then i helped him take the engine out...when we got the engine out i dropped the pan and verified the internals..
the seller had no issues with this.
So what i am saying it can be verified you just gotta be willing to take a little extra time and A-LOT more work and hassle to check it out..
i can ssure you it was a long day for me after pulling the engine and driving back to S.C. but well worth it..
on another note if a seller has a problem pulling off a pan...RUN !
