Free 1.6 motor
 

Currently as you can see sitting on my workbench.
Everything is there except the injectors and a couple crank-pulley bolts.

Head/ValveCover/Intake/IAC/Block/OilPan/WaterPump/Oil Pump/Timing Belt/MotorMounts/Block-Tranny Gasket/PS-AC bracket... and a few bags of bolts and shit are all there.

I make no promises regarding anything about this motor.

It started pissing water into #3 so I changed the head gasket and it still pissed... probably got a slightly warped head. Bottom end was still strong, but I bought another motor so I didn't have to fuck with it anymore.

First person who says they can come get it in Virginia Beach wins.
I will not ship.

It had 135k on it, full maint, always Mobi1 iirc.

If you change your mind i'll pay shipping and for any packing materials.

I didn't have any luck when I posted here giving mine away Sam. I just put in on M.net free section a few weeks back and someone was literally at my house within 1 hr of posting picking it up. I suggest you post there if you want to get it out of your garage fast.

676 mi – about 11 hours 13 mins

Lets just say I prolly wont be the first there :giggle:

long nose crank i assume? i might be able to make the drive, gotta figure out the cost of gas and such though. was the block ever rebuilt (specifically rings)

short nose or long nose?

Original longnose motor from my '93. 135k miles, never touched.

I wont be your way anytime soon, else I'd take the VC and IM.

Oh snaps, you got a 1.6 valve cover? I need, I need. Want to send it out to me? :x: Gosh, I'll even pay you something for it, and the trouble. :bigtu:
Or want to pay a visit to that little bastard KPLAFIN for me? He's never sent the one I paid him for. Think he's close to you...

:wavey::sadwavey:

If somebody comes along in the next week or so and wants the whole thing, I'd rather do it that way.

I think all it needs is the head milled and a new head gasket and it will go right back and work fine (again, no promises). The last compression check I did was before I put 10k boosted miles on it and they were in the 180's... but there's no telling what 14psi of bandaid tuning did to it in that amount of time.

For info, PlanetMiata sells a 1.6 longblock for $450... that you know came out of a running car. If you're planning on swapping it in as a replacement, then you've got the peripherals already and just need the longblock.

If I get no takers by the end of next week, I'll part the thing for the cost of shipping plus whatever a handle of Captain goes for. But shipping the block/head/pan would cost about half what a GUARANTEED motor from PlanetMiata would... then you need an HG and the head milled and there's no guarantee that after you do all the work that I didn't hurt the rings bad when a river of coolant flooded the #3 under high boost.

For now, anybody who wants everything in the picture above just needs to show up... next week we'll talk parts.

Until then, Brain has dibs on the IM, and Ben on the VC.
Levnibhin, I just wouldn't feel right shipping you this motor knowing you're probably gonna spend at close to $450 getting it running with no guarantees.

I actually would only like to have it to stock pile it for a while. Im really only intrested in the guts. I have an completely empty block here. So all I would use is the crank, piston squiters and pistons. A spare head is a nice thing to have also.

i call dibs on the crank and the block...

Actually I will be in virginia beach at the end of the month, if you want to wait til then. All i really want is block, guts, oil pan, Iac, and a couple other things offhand. Already have a good head, Just want something to play with this winter.

You'll take it all and like it!
I will hold onto the whole thing for you... can you give me a day you'll be here. I assume you'll want to pick it up on your way out of town?

That's what I tell my girl too..

Will be there on the 30th and leave on the first, day or two at the beach and busch gardens and I can grab it on the way out of town. I'll bring a box for all the little shit. Pm me your info and I will give you a call when I leave so we can work out a time for pick up.
Time to go buy an engine stand.

Can I have my uncle pick it up? he is in Newport News...PM me your number. I'll have him call you.

Edit: Just saw this guys post...if he doesn't my uncle should be able to do it this up coming week.

^Sorry boss, unless Talus backs out, I'm gonna hold it a couple weeks for him. I'm sure if he changes his mind, he'll chime in here and it's yours.
