That's exactly how I inspect Evo's.. A few bolts in particular, the ones behind the power steering pump that mount the bracket to the block, if those are marred it is usually a very good indicator the motor has been pulled as there are (usually) no real reasons to remove those bolts unless you are pulling the block out. Just as an example...

I'm sure there are some VIII's and IX's out there that are factory stock. But I'm sure they have a high asking price. Thing is there are some simple bolt on mods that just make this car better. For example if the car had a quality TBE and tune with some Bilsteins and 17-18" rims that are lighter than stock than the car is improved IMHO. Once you start raising boost and swapping turbos the car is certainly not stock anymore.

Yeah, people put all of the OEM parts back on and sell the car as stock. I'm not saying I agree with that behavior or it's the right thing to do, it's merely what I've observed on the forums, Auto-Trader and Honda-Tech in the past.
Buyers just need to educate themselves and ask the right questions or risk getting screwed and then crying about it on EvoM.
