Default My engine - Possibly in bits.....

Regarding this engine.....

Engine. 1600cc CVH. Original block for the car, which was low mileage to start with. Standard virgin crank (never been machined, hence its at its strongest). Was built when the car was on 52,000 miles, so has done 8000 miles now. The block was fully refaced. line-honed and balanced when it was first built. When the engine went back in the car last year, it was rebuilt again apart from the rings and was fitted with new ACL bearings (there wasn’t really anything wrong with old ones) and all new gaskets. It has Farndon Steel Rods, Ross Racing 80.5mm Forged Pistons to my spec, Ultra-rare Cross-hatch head, custom ported and with Stainless Inlet/Exhaust Valves. A Newman cam is fitted (which will suit 300-350bhp), along with solid lifters and single valve springs (these were fitted about 50 miles so will need the clearances checking again in a few hundred miles). The sump is baffled and fitted with an M12 temperature boss and the oil pickup has been modified to suit the baffled sump. The block is painted black, the head is painted silver. The rocker cover or ancillaries aren’t included. This engine has proven 351bhp, done just under 172mph, well, you know all that. It’s nicely run in having spent the first 3000 miles of its life on mineral oil and I shit you not, it has had at least 15 oil changes!! I am currently reassembling it, having stripped it for checking. So, it will have a new head gasket, sump gasket and stem seals. £2995 There is someone seriously interested in this, but at this moment, it's still for sale.
I would like to get moving with the sale of it, so there are 2 options.

1. I reduce the price to £2500. Lets remember that this is a properly built, immaculately cared-for engine, that is very young and is currently going through a strip-down to check it all out.

2. I separate it and sell the block/head/cam separately. As follows :-

Block (EFi Block, Farndon Rods, Ross Pistons, Virgin Crank, ACL Bearings, Baffled Sump, recent pumps, all checked out, new Sump Gasket fitted and new Head Gasket/Bolts included) - £1800

Head (Cross Hatch MFi casting, big Stainless Valves, Custom porting, new Stem Seals fitted) - £500

Then I will deal with the camshaft separately. This way you can spec your own camshaft depending on your spec.
