Seems like a decent deal really. Don't know the guy, just browsing around and noticed it.

This motor, or one like it from the same builder was on eBay a little while ago. Anyone know the builder? May be a good deal.

If it comes with warrantee from the builder (Northwest Connecting Rod), then it's a decent deal. The builder has a good reputation, but we've had too many engine deals go bad on this board recently.

Seems like the seller (the original buyer) changed his mind about using this engine for an unknown reason. The engine has quality parts, but at this price it should come with a warrantee, in my opinion.

Ok

It's set-up for a bug..as soon as you change the flywheel the balance job is worthless.

full circle crank...pure junk...most likely a bernie bergman unit.

It's cut for a sharpbuilt shroud...the top of the beather tower is cut about a 1/4" above where the pic is cropped. I beleive it's cut down 36mm

POS melling oil pump

Total seal rings don't work worth a crap in a type 4

QUOTE
The motor is new and has never been installed. Very strong motor with gobs of torque.

If he's never ran it how does he know?

It's a mish-mash of an engine...but hey that's just my opinion.
