Honda GX270 HA2 Horizontal Engine with 6:1 Gear Reduction

thin metal, dropped and dented before unpacking

the motor was delivered by ups and was left outside my gate on a rural highway The driver contacted me as he was lost .After realizing he was next door, he refused to open my gate after I gave him the lock code. Driver refused to enter property even after explaining that I lived in a high theft area.He ended up leaving it outside easily visible from the highway. It was propped up against my lock chain with "Honda" insignia clearly visible to traffic.It looked like it was drop kicked in anger. After getting the call I rushed home To find engine left askew against chain. After installing I tried to start engine then realized it had dented cowling causing fan blades to strike mounting bolts. I was able to carefully bang out the dent enough to clear fan blades. If the cowling metal wasn't paper thin, it probably would not have dented and distorted. Very dissapointed with carrier and quality of manufactered parts.
