As title states. Block is actually a z6, but can be used with any D16 setup. The block is only $500 because the sleeve work is unknown.


The block came from a built engine I am parting out. The motor ran fine when pulled. It had crower rods and arias pistons. Whoever built this engine spent a lot of money on good internals, so I doubt if he scimped when it came to the block.


But really, I don't know any details about this block. I'm always busy and don't want to waste any more time horsing around with it. I've cleaned it up the best I can, but you will still want to hot tank it. Also, the cylinders need a re-hone.


This auction is for the bare block. I will send you everything you need to make the block complete if you pay for the shipping. I just can't ship it all at once because of weight issues.


Here is what I do know from looking at the block. The outside of the sleeves has excess glue pressed out about 2" down from the top. In other words, the sleeves are shaped like Benson sleeves, where they are composed of two different diameters to prevent sinking. I don't know what manufacturers make sleeves shaped like Benson sleeves, that's for you guys to figure out.


I will post pics later. I just wanted to get this up to see what interest was like.

Pics will be up tonight

 

aww phooey, I thought the block egturbo sold you was a Y8...Id be all over this...

 

Yeah, I thought it was a y8 too. That's one reason I don't want it . The block and head are z6, the IM was from a y8.


Aren't all d16 blocks interchangeable anyway?

 

pics?

 

We-todd-did isn't working right now. I will try to host the pics again tomorrow.

 

1. ARP studs NOT included with price. I want those bad boys.

2. I tried to take pics that show any flaws that might exist. You will notice in some pics that there are mineral deposits on the outside of the sleeves (like the radiator water wasn't distilled) which is why I recommend hot tanking it.

3. In the fourth pic, you can see that the original hone is still visible. The reason that I reccomend a re-hone is because there is some surface rust on sleeve #3 where the exhaust port was left open when the engine was in storage. A re-hone should take that right off.

4. I took the last pic to show that the sleeves were pressed in off-center. I don't know what that means really. Each of the four sleeves has an identical offset. If anyone knows whether or not that's a bad thing, by all means, feel free to post.

free bump for you

IM Earl about your block he can tell if it's benson or not

 

If you'll take $500 shipped, its sold. I would like a few more pics of the main bore and bottom of the sleeves before I send payment though.

Main bore? You mean a pic of each cylinder bore? I'll go take a bunch of pics.

no pics from the bottom that show the main line where the crank rests

 

I'm just goig to mail you the pics so I don't have to upload them all. I tried my best to get pictures of the under side of block, but my camera likes to auto-focus on the wrong parts.

To break down the pics:
cyl.1 - Has residual rust where the rings sat. The rust is not from the sleeve.
cyl.2 - Same as cyl.1 but also has some surface rust where exhaust port was open. It's very thin - will probably come off with oil and a piece of cloth.
cyl.3 - perfect.
cyl.4 -perfect.

The pic of my messy garage floor shows all the crap to make the block complete. I have a new water pump/tensioner/timing belt I can send so disregard the rusty water pump in the pic. The other random pic shows the girdle.

 

Mmmm... Damn. Unfortunately, all the pics I sent you are with the main bearings still in place. I never removed them.

I guess I'll take some more pics later with the bearings removed.

 

if any knows if that cyl 4 is a bad thing being pressed in weird cuz if it is not then I will take it for 560 shipped!! What else are you selling with it like oil pan and what not or what?? let me know when you can and I will get back to you. I have the money in my account so as soon as u let me know i will buy.

 

FYI: Benson "usually" engraves their logo on the blocks that they sleeve.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough before. ALL FOUR cylinders are pressed in the same, not the number four cylinder. Each of the four sleeves has an identical offset, meaning they were all pressed in the same way.

Heh, I guess I would have noticed that .


But there is an engraving though - Five letters in a row etched into the flywheel side of the block. "C-D-C-C-????" The fifth letter is some funky symbol that would result if you lay an "L" perfectly over a "P"

 

if this is around when my tax refund makes it here, i may be very interested.

is it an OE 75mm bore?

 

^^^It better be quick! Two guys seem serious about buying it.

Here's the deal guys. I am shipping the bare block in one box by itself. I will ship anything else you want in a second box. By anything, I mean:

-Crank
-Crank girdle
-Oil Pickup
-Flywheel
-Water pipe/ports
-Water pump
-Timing belt/tensioner
-Oil pump


The bore is stock. The buyer can purchase the corresponding arias pistons for an additional $200.

 

Pending for $500 shipped.

 

MONEY SENT!

 

Yup . Sold for $500 shipped to the guy who was willing to just send a payment instead of bothering me with PMs and stupid inquiries.

 

**** i was gonna get this but wasnt able to get around to a pc!! Oh well if the guy that bought this doesnt use it let me know cuz I will buy it in a sec. Wish I wasnt in Iraq and I wouldnt have missed this deal!!!

 

reply to my IM, I need the girdle please

 

My PMs stopped working a couple weeks ago. I didn't know you wanted the girdle. ****, I could have squeezed that in with the block. That's why I asked specifically what you wanted. I believe your response was "just the bare block..." Now I've got to make another trip to fedex and pay more for shipping. That's fucked up .

I sold to you for $100 cheaper than some of the other offers I was getting simply because I wanted to avoid the hassle. Now I have to get off my *** and go do errands for you.

I don't know much about engine building. I thought that was implied in my prior posts. That's why I kept asking what you needed.

But **** it. I mean what the hell. Looks like I'm off to kinkos aa;lsdjf;aldskjfa;l alsd;fa;sldjfadf a;sdjfa;sdlfja;sdljf a;dfja;dlfjad; fa;sdjfa;sdlfja;sdflja;d sfa;dsjfa;dslf kasd;fljakdf ;asdljfa;ld faj;dlfjjasdf ;asdjfa;ldsfja ;dsfj ad;f as
