Mine was still in the corsa it was coming out of when i bought it. So i heard it running. But if its already out then like Ste said its the luck of the draw. Thats why a rebuild before it goes back in is a good idea.
my engine in the car before i bought it

Did mine for about 1k, including engine, fitting kit, coilovers, water pump, cambelt kit, new gaskets, oil, filter, etc.

I did it myself and even if anything goes wrong its usally cheap to fix
