I’m trying to use the LIDAR camera on my iPhone 13 Pro to scan an engine to model around. I’ve tried a few apps (Polycam, Qlone, 3D Scanner) but the resultant scan isn’t complete or looks “melted” in areas. Any advice would be appreciated.

Try to use Scaniverse, I have it on my iPad Pro and it seems to work alright. I find that a large object like a car is no issues, but smaller objects you need to adjust the range on the app, and take your time properly scanning it.

Hope this helps.
