"Under the doctrine of caveat emptor, the buyer could not recover from the seller for defects on the property that rendered the property unfit for ordinary purposes. The only exception was if the seller actively concealed latent defects."
Then again, you have to prove the concealment.
Personally, I wouldn't buy a used engine, certainly, not from anyone on ebay.
Hope this turns out well and thanks for the story. Good one.
