Default Is it worth it? About to buy a sleeved motor need opinions by this sunday

Ok so theres this guy that is selling his fully built d16z6 heres what it has

fully built d16z6 with about 12k miles on it Golden Eagle sleeves, wiseco pistons 8.8:1, eagle rods, acl race bearings, polished and balanced crank, arp head studs, ported and polished head with crower springs and retainers, crower stage 2 turbo cam has a stock port matched intake manifold with 65mm throttle body. It includes a ex transmission with act extreme pressure plate and street disc with a streetlite flywheel.

The engine was built and sleeved on January 08. He says he has the invoice from golden eagle and i told him to print it out and show it to me when i go see the motor.

I don't see why u can't put an air gun on the crank pulley and spin the motor a few times..... Or secure it and engage the starter to build compression

well since we are talking about my motor i might as well comment on why it is being sold. my car was broken into sitting in my drive way on early tuesday the 27 as i was thinking about selling it soon anyways i decided that maybe this was a sign to part with luckily they couldnt get it started for some reason and only took my gauges, wideband, boost controller, distrubutor, and the cold side piping. it was the worst felling i have ever expierenced! the motor was in perfect running condition. it was my daily driver back and forth to work 6 miles a day. and sit for a year because i lost my license for a year. it was fully built by myself with the help of Justin Linder at Linder Power Systems in Richland. It has never been to the track on the sleeved built motor. hope this helps out.
