It came in a sealed package?
I ordered the diesel "new" from ebay in 2017. I'm pretty sure when it arrived, it was sealed .
The worn nose was my doing.
Even though I accidentally broke the clips off, I don't know how one of the other ones (circled in red) managed to snap.

It may be my fault they broke, but the clips in fact seemed really flimsy and I don't think they should break off so easily when i try to open the gearbox. When Leokimvideo was opening a real motor like this, the clips seemed a lot stronger.

One of the motor screws was heavily corroded and so was the milk tanker screw (oddly the fuel tanker screw was in perfect condition)
The motor itself was pretty bad.
Train it, plane it, you name it!
