Idk, I figure these guys aren't exactly rocket scientists or extremely cautious like we are. They check the engine and if it's good they keep it, if it's bad they toss it.

There's one engine for $3500 with 55k miles and they list the compression test numbers 195 185 160 175 160 180, but they're all over the place. I don't think I'd touch this motor, pics also show DCI's.
