I realize these are probably just surface defects but I was wondering if this is normal for a brand new engine (purchased with 7 miles) to be rusted and scuffed up like this. Just seems like this kinda stuff shouldn't pass QA when coming out of the factory. Yes, I realize the rust may just be from sitting on the lot but what's with the scuffing? Do they just randomly try to take any burrs off the engine before they ship it out? Pics don't do it much justice...it's pretty noticeable when looking at the engine.

Hmmm, I'll check on the skuffs to see if it matches up with my truck. The rust on iron / exposed steel is pretty normal on just about everything I've owned.
