the only difference is whether or not somebody opened a factory engine and disturbed parts, it can decrease reliability, dramatically
never open an engine unless you absolutely have to

So if I buy a new long block I can't tell if its been opened before as well. So how do you approach that dilemma?
My engine builder opened the block and found out the pistons were scored from the previous owners mistakes in their rebuild.
But say if I buy a new block how would I know if that will run fine? That it too doesn't need a rebuild?
Sorry for derailing, my thing became a mess as usual. How simple things start I guess.
