My favorite scam at auction was a Miller welder I bought, with attached one cylinder engine (Tecumsah, as I recall). Checked the dipstick, oil looked normal. Some oil leakage around the bolt-on end cover. Couldn't check compression, it was battery start with no battery. Got it home, drained the oil, and removed end cover to replace gasket. There was no rod or piston! It had thrown a rod, and underside of head was gouged up, but not cracked. Crank journal was OK, too. Someone had gone to the trouble of removing the broken parts, replacing the end cover and gasket (which had torn during removal, hence the leak), and refilled to proper level with used oil. I don't know if this has a happy ending or not- I got the parts to repair the engine, but haven't got around to putting it together yet.
