FREE: a low-time 86A cam and lifters...but it was involved in a low-speed engine seize.

Longer story here: https://tgadrivel.blogspot.com/2024/09/an-i...sportation.html

Short version: I was idling/driving away in a parking area after I'd forgotten to open my dry sump valve. Engine stopped with a clang. I knew immediately what I'd done and had it towed back to my paddock spot.

Engine was rebuilt (I swapped to an 86B) and the cam and lifters were sent back to me...and they look just fine*. Hell, if'n I'd not decided to change cams I'd probably still be using them.

So I'd hate to toss this into the scrap bin.

But at the same time, even though it looks perfectly fine I just don't see how I can justify asking money for it. So I'm offering it to anyone on World that wants it, you pay the shipping (if you want to toss me a six-pack of a good local IPA I won't decline).

The caveats:
- Can and lifters have not been inspected other than visually
- Lifters are all mixed up but this engine probably only has MAYBE 15 hours on it (I'm thinking more like ten)
- I'll pack nice and ship but you cover shipping
- Don't lowball me man I know what I got

Even better, you inspect and pick up Middletown CT. - GA

*Engine seized up on the front main/nose bearing, rest of them looked pretty damned OK. New bearings, light polish of the crank, and she's all back together.

I will take it. I can email a paid label. PM me your email address, package size and weight; and physical address where it will be shipped from.
