Now, if you can find out who rebuilt the motor, I'd see if they used forged rods. From what I understand that is the weakest link in the F90 motors. While its not much of a bright side, it is a new motor.
The motor was rebuilt by Ghassan Automotive in Oklahoma. I reached out to them they told me how they fixed it and it carried a 2 year warranty but I still felt uneasy so was able to talk to the seller and get out of the deal ultimately I think I dodged a bullet
