I've seen too many guys selling "rebuilt" engines around here that had a quickie valve job, a ball hone job and a trip to the car wash to wash them up before being reassembled with a low buck ring and bearing kit. Nothing wrong with that if you are putting a driver motor together for yourself but it is false advertising if you are selling the engine as rebuilt.

Right now it boils down to check everything just as if you had pulled the engine off a stand and installed it yourself. Check for what else they didn't do right or didn't finish. Don't assume anything except that you need to check everything.
I'm with Mr 48chevy pull the motor and start over
