[QUOTE="SiDev, post: 617963, member: 20326"] If the engine has only done 1500 miles you should be good, but as a really rough guide to check end float: open the deck lid, kneel in front of the rear bumper, grab the bottom pulley with both hands, left hand at 9 o’clock and right hand at 3 o’clock, 4 fingers on the back of the pulley and thumbs on the front face, push in and pull out repeatedly, and if you can feel any movement it needs looking at closer. If you can hear anything like a clunk, it’s shagged. Engines can run for thousands of miles with end float and not let you down, but the longer you run it the less likely you will be able to reuse the block for a rebuild. [/QUOTE]
