It's great that you have a sense of humor. I'd be furious unless I paid very little for the entire piece of equipment.
You are telling us that the complete rod, piston, rings (this assembly) is completely missing and someone removed it and reassembled the engine? This presents a whole host of problems like the #3 injector working away and diluting the crank case and engine oil. If it were mine, I wouldn't be comfortable with anything short of a crank shaft inspection and complete overhaul of the entire bottom end. Might as well do the head, valves, seals and seats while it's torn down and waiting for parts.
Good luck and would love to hear of how you progress with this project.
