Default Conspiracy Theorist - Let me know your thoughts

I have a buddy looking at an 01 coupe, it's not local and he is getting piece mail info. He sent me this picture of the engine that the owner sent him. It sure seems odd to me that the engine is perfectly clean. Either it came out of the car or it was cleaned in placed....but I can't believe it was cleaned in place and the other components around it were not cleaned such as the sway bar. The car has 52K miles.

I see it has headers, but can't find a picture of them anywhere on the web that match them.

What are the Conspiracy Theorist ideas out there?

That exhaust looks stock to me. Don't all 996's have headers like that?

Haven't studied them in detail, but the headers look similar to our 01's and I know they are stock.

I agree that the motor was out for some reason. Either work or replacement and as clean as it is I'd go with replacement.

I would suggest hiring a local private engine investigator to stake out his house, do some background checking and find out the root of this issue.

If there has been any correspondence between said "seller" and former member "KK", beware of sub-par workmanship hence a certain decline on the sale.

Somehow, I blame Donald Trump.
And the Trilateral Commission.

If your Spidey senses are tingling, move on to another car.
