I have an older 2.5L four that I have partially diassembled in order to identify the major internal components. The PO had the motor build in the early 90's by a well respected shop in Auburn, WA. Unfortunely he could not remember all the spec's and parts that were used and the shop no longer has records from that time period. I'm thinking of selling this motor and am curious as to the quality/value of the parts. So here is what I think I know:
103 mm bore, cast iron cylinders, KB pistons, 75mm stroke (approx measure), heads have been modified with larger valves, 48mm intake, 37mm exhaust (approx measure), dual Weber 40 IDFs, 009 distibutor I am looking for help on identifying the rods, crank, and cam. Is there a way to do it without splitting the case? Thanks |

........MY opinion is....the engine, will have MORE value if the prospective buyer can see the , used, parts and see for themselves they are still useable./ good...The engine as it is now, partially disassembled, has little value due to all the unknowns....The camshaft and lifters have no value as they would be replaced with new anyway.(as they will have the most wear). carefully Disassembled, cleaned up. oiled and properly boxed and you could have some value in the engine and components.........just my opinion.

Thanks, this is the way I'm currently leaning. Would like to be able to represent the motor/parts for what they are. |
