Don't tell them that you have done anything.  Just see if it goes through
first.  They get crazy about engine swaps.  If you don't tell them, it will
pass if the engine is running good, and they will never know because the
engines look identical.  Just pray he didn't make a note of your
conversation.  My grand mother always warned me not to tell everything you
know.  It isn't lying.  If they don't ask specific questions why volunteer
information?
