Did he assemble it?


I've always liked this route.

Gosh charged me around $780 to do a complete shortblock last fall. This included all cleaning, machining, balancing and complete assembly to my specs and tolerances.

Thank you celica, I pm'd him, just waiting for a reply now. But I have a bad shortblock with rod knock. If I can rebuild it for less then the price of a shortblock then that would be a way better option. What do you guys suggest for a build that will handle 400 max? Im thinking 2g piston 1g rod combo if Im not looking for something too special or expensive.

Yes but where are all these stock motors??? I cannot find one ANYWHERE. And with my luck Ill get it from some fuckhead who sells me a bad motor. Cant trust it too much until I see the compression numbers.

With the seemingly abundance of 'junk' engines out there, and the availability of inexpensive after-market pistons and rods, I cannot see forking out a grand for a running 6-bolt (or whatever they are selling for now), when you can have a solid product without the guesswork.

I would love not to have to pay over a grand for a motor alone. I just have to find a stock one that is good and I will be more than happy at this point

I had advertised the 2.4 built shortblock that used to be in my car, but decided to use that myself instead with a 2G head. The motor coming out is a 6-bolt, 2G piston, 1G rod motor I built last year with a brand new Mitsu head with just the casting flash cleaned up. That's still in the car, hence the reason I haven't offered it up here yet, I'm not sure how long it will be until it's out of the car. I need to get my Lotus up and running first, although that's pretty much done now. I suppose I should go get the GSX and pull that motor since proving grounds is coming up soon.

Maybe I did offer up the engine in the car, I can't remember.
