Guest Anonymous Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 The only comment I'd have about them, is that they're .060 over which means its out as far as it can go and will have no rebores left on the block. If I were buying a used engine, I'd look for one that was like .030 over (or a original one that I could bore to .030) just to give me two rebores, if the price was right I'd probably get the .060 engine and while I ran that one, I'd be building another one on the engine stand to swap all the good parts onto when that engine decides to check out, but thats just a personal opinion Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 I agree with what Lone said about the 0.60 overbore--but if you take care of the motor, it should last you a long time anyway! The second engine listed has nicer parts and waaay better heads. I'd opt for the second motor. What are the cam specs? If the cam is too radical, you could put in a milder cam and really enjoy that motor. The first motor is ok, except for the heads and that it has no warranty. If the motor is "cheap" then it might be a deal anyway. Hopefully it is not overcammed, or just has the stock grind cam. Are you pulling these off ebay or what?

Guest BadKarmaCreepin Posted June 25, 2001 Share Posted June 25, 2001 yeah, I am, why? where else should i go to find an engine? See, my car doesn't do it for me anymore (hehehehe, civic) and I've been reading all kinds of post here and at zcar.com and visiting everyone's sites, and this just seems like the best, cheapest(relative), easiest way to go fast, and look good doing it. so I guess I am in some sort of a rush, but I can't rush anything when I know so little. It doesn't help that I'm 21 and a speed freak too. hahaha. dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
