    I would say at first (if you haven't already) just let him know what you found and ask if he is willing to either refund your money, or if he is willing to offer something else in return..

    Try to be the bigger man at first. Then, if he refuses to deal with the problem, apply force.

    Sometimes, people make honest mistakes or may not entirely know what is the history of something they are selling. I get that the motor was pretty toast, but he may not have known how badly it was done for. Give him a reasonable chance to make it right. You don't want him to get defensive right off the bat.

      Small claims court. not easy to actually get any money from him, if you win, but you might ruin his credit by sending a debt collector after him.

              Oh, I've already tried that. Should I post up the convo I had with him?

                    I wouldn't post anything attacking him. Just post the facts and include screen shots of your conversation, etc.

                      The rest of the last pic:
                      ...When I pulled it, I didn't check, that fact. I just took their word. Again sorry, but I'm not responsibly for anything months later. Your not pinning this shit on me. Have a good night.

                      Need to figure out a way to get my money back! Wish the lemon law applied to engines.

                        This. Play it neutral and just keep focused on what you are looking for in return.
