Chinese water spindle owners?

I wouldnt worry about the marks. Generally the black paint job on the end caps is poor from what I've seen so far so this will chip off easily. The stuff around the coolant connector holes is thread sealant, apply a small amount when you refit them.
Have you run it up yet?

would u mind saying which seller u bought from.. just for future reference?

Not yet, I don't think it's fair bad mouthing people on the internet when they haven't had a chance to respond to any issues yet, if you are going to order one this week I can PM you if you want?

I've not tried it out yet, it's my first build so I'm ordering stuff as I go and don't actually have the cables yet or a dti to test it with. :(
