Any time you buy an used short block, one your rolling the dice and it should be independently inspected. Now if the guy says "well I had a little issue and it might need to be sleeved," "Might" means it will and also if it needs resleeving I would have the block X-rayed and its expensive. To me if your going to buy a block buy one with low miles or a new one, preferably a new one. YOU NEVER KNOW what an used block has been through.
