Like stated above the first thing you should have done would indeed be a compression test. The apex seals will give you an overall general health of your engine. If your compression is low and the engine has low miles, a rebuild could be possible. But if you bought an engine with 200000+ you better expect some problems. At that point there is a high possibility that many of your internals are wore to the point of being scrap. Another thing you could check would be your oil. Do a change on it and look at the color and health of your oil. The best thing to do would be to cut open your old oil filter and cut out a section of pletes ( sorry if thats spelled wrong ) squeeze the oil out of it with a vice and open it up to see if there is any or how much metal is set itself in there.
