Have the Opportunity to purchase a GEX built 2.0 liter out of a 74 914 that was involved if a front end wreck.....may buy the complete car depending on $$$$.
The engine has a little over 2,000 miles on it and has the 2100 cc, Power Master upgrade - Pick up the additional HP to climb hills, Electronic Balancing - For longer life and a smooth running engine. Counterweighted Crankshaft - Allows engine to run smoother and ultimately to last longer. alt Maxi Oil Pump - Closer tolerances than a stock pump, provides added volume and increased oil pressure during low speed operation. high output alternator and the Compufire Ignition. The engine starts and runs fine, but no longer has any warranty on it. trying to come up with a value, because the guys wife is tried of looking at it and he just wants it gone. (think its the cause of many arguments) I haven't heard anything good or bad regarding GEX and their quality. Anyone have info on GEX? Thanks |

I have installed a number of GEX long blocks and crate motors over the years.
All of the motors are supposedly test run, yet I have never received one that had valves adjusted in a way that an engine would run. Of the crate motors, I have never received one that had the valves, carbs or timing adjusted in a manner that would allow the engine to run. On the last one, all of the above was the same and it wouldn't hold oil due to a stripped drain plug. As far as I'm concerned, GEX is the "Motormeister" of 4 cylinder engines. Buyer beware. |
