Actualy I wouldn't say its the supplier at all. These things do happen. Generally engines are compression tested and thats about it regardless of where you get it from. They don't test run them except for compression check.
Any time you buy a used engine its a crap shoot and one in who knows how many is eventually going to have issues.
I doubt it has to do with the supplier at all...unless the threw sand in the block or loosened a rod
