Sounds like they did not put enough oil in it?

Easy mistake to make as dip stick is not easy to read.

Would be having words.

Roddo might buy it off you to turn into a race car.

He could also fit you a replacement engine.

Maybe previous owner let oil get too low?
The nc engines are not as bullet-proof as earlier units and can suffer low oil between services. Quite a few NCs blowing up I understand.
