Since they got it and never really checked it/ran it, then I guess to them it was "new". Unfortunatly maybe they got it from somewhere that had disassembled it for some reason, and just threw it back together quickly, no gaskets nothing...
I would be pretty #$#$#$ pissed right now too, you bought a BRAND NEW MOTOR! It should simply drop in, I think that maybe your mechanic should have checked compression which he could have done while the motor was out of the car...doesn't take much to connect 12V to the starter and crank it over on a stand... This would have probably saved you a whole lot of hastle.
