Wiseco pistons are cheapo and what steel rods? China's finest...? Always a gamble with 2nd hand engines, were going through the same questions with my mates Impreza trying to source another motor!

Also depends on how good the machinist was etc

Ring Nortech to validate it. Its worth nothing without some kind of provenance

It is a lottery buying these engines. As a bit of background, Nortech (which is a one man band of Jay) have a pretty good reputation now. I have an exhaust manifold of his on my car and it was well made. I expect this engine is one he built up himself for his own car, so likely to be a genuine attempt to build a good one, though this is no security that it actually is a good one. Try and get some videos of it running.
