Pat, Did you buy a used motor from a salvage yard, or a rebuilt motor? Was it called a "reconditioned" motor? If this is the case, that is just a "cleaned up" old motor. They steam clean it and paint it. Magic. A reconditioned motor! What was the written guarantee on the motor? Usually even a rebuilt is only 12 mo/12,000 miles limited warranty. How much did you pay for the motor, and what type was it? This will tell us alot.
