Ok, curiosity got the best of me and I did the leg work for you. Called my Jasper rep who attempted to look up the tag number shown on your engine. It is so old that it is no longer in their system. They never offered the 7M, but that doesn't mean that they might have rebuilt one that a customer sent them back in the day. The rep said that they did use black paint on performance builds they did for customers. He seriously doubted that Jasper ever did one for a Toyota though as they usually do short blocks for Mopar and such. They never used red paint, but the previous owner may have used that ugly paint himself. How long ago did the seller claim the engine was rebuilt? At this point it aint looking too good that it's from Jasper. He may have put a shiny new paint job on an old engine that he had laying around. I've never seen Jasper leave paint marks on cam gears or timing covers either. Also, it may just be a blurry pic, but that timing belt looks hella worn for only 5k miles. I am skeptical to say the least.
