Dont buy it. You can get a used motor hell a better motor from a junkyard for much much cheaper I can get a B18 for 500 bucks. check around call your junkyards see if they have a good compression motor for sale in one of there cars.

Yeah, defiantly forget that idea. Put $700.00 into something that works and isn't a piece.

Don't buy it. It's not worth it.

chances are he spun a bearing. I just bought a 86mm, fully built 18c5 full swap with hondata for 2600 shipped. took it apart and the only thing that happened was he spun a rod bearing. so the fix is simple...new rods(free by trade), and a crank($30 to $100). Like they said though its not worth it for a stock motor

Think of it as a 700 dollar paper weight, would you want one of those?

find out what's wrong with it, if he put a rod through the block it's useless as **** on a bull..though if he fried the rings that might not be all bad..
