Check to make sure it has all the camshaft bearings fitted. If one is missing it will cause a huge drop in oil pressure. It is rare but i have seen it happen.

I work for hm gem engines and all engines are recoed for gas setup with hardend vavles and seats. Well as for quality if it working good then i'd say it's alright one of the guys at work had one in his vh and done about 200000k's in it with no prblems. Most stuffed motors come back pretty quick or are picked up when their tested? Do you have any idea how old it is (how long since it was rebuilt) There's usually stamped som where. THe victorian plants new (where i work) it was up in sydney before that.
