This may be the wrong spot to put this, but I'm up in Seattle, and I'm looking for somewhere where I can purchase a D16Z6 longblock. I want to build a fresh one for my girlfirends 95 EX. The current engine burns through about a qrt of oil for every 500 miles or so. No visible leaks, but the oil is usually down every one fill up.

I tried searching a bit, but most of the links I got were for online suppliers of JDM engines. I'd prefer a local source where I can just pick one up.

Thanks
Drew

 

why dont u just throw some new seals and a new set of rings on the current, hell just rebuild the whole engine, would be cheaper then finding a new stock z6...im sure its hard to find a dead stock one with low milage that nobody has beat on

 

Well, the main reason is I don't want the down time on the car. My girlfriend uses it for commuting almost 2 hrs each way, and I'd rather not put the milage on the cars that we race.

I don't mind if it has tons of miles. I just plan on a simple rebuild, with high comp pistons and maybe a mild cam. Nothing too exciting. It'll be a much simipler build then my others.

 

try local classifieds like craigslist.com

 

Yeah, I've been watching them for about 2-3 weeks now, plus looking through the archive messages. Nothing so far.

 

see if u can find a totalled EX or del sol Si at ur local junk yard....
