OK, I see the score on the piston, does it extend into the rings? Are the rings jammed/stuck as well? This is powerhead is from a salty dog, probably better off sending it back. Removing the head and exhaust cover would help tell the tale, but the bolts are probably stuck. That number on the core plug is the serial number only. Powerheads were the same for the 9.9 and 15hp in those years anyway.
Is this purchase covered by ebay’s buyer protection plan? If so, I would remind the seller about this and ask him again to pay for the return shipping. If he refuses, and the purchase is covered by ebay, I would simply report it to ebay.
