Got this motor off of Ebay for a sweet deal now its time to go to work fully rebuilt. My goal is to get her all torn down and put back together from the ground up. Final goal it to put it into a EK chassis but for now all I got is the motor and a low budjet.

 

what are your plans? and how much did you pick the motor up for? looks real rough, like its been weathered. hope its not rusted out, inside.

 

Uhh basic plans are to rebuild it from the bottow up get her semi race ready i got a budjet of like 3K. From what ive been told she was sitting in a garage for some time. I scored it for like 900 with shipping

I got some other pics im working on ... Everything spins free so i hope the insides looks ok
I'm working on some other pics now so stay tuned

Everything has to go :

Full new vavletrain ( thinking on a Crower Kit)
Stock Crank
Stock Pistons
New Water Pump
New Head Gasket
New Intake Manifold

And many more .....

 

Here are some pics of when I finally picked up the motor and got it into the house (my GF hates that I have it in the house) .... Wost than I thought ... I cant touch anywhere on this darn thing with out getting dirty not looking foward to busting it apart

 

did it come with dizzyand fuel rail/injectors
looks really really worn out like its been in some very crappy cars and got sold when all the juice was squeezed out of it.

900 bucks is not a very good deal for this condition

dizzy 100, fuel rail another 50 bucks
vtec was spliced in looks like it might be from another engine also

missing hoses
missing sensors on intake manifold
missing timing belt cover
wrong engine mount on driver side( b series integra all have 3 point mount on driver side, so it was in a civic last which have a 2 point mount)
all add up to dollars here and there

check the valve train before its too late to file a claim in case theres some serious damage that he didnt say.

if you gonna rebuild it then take everything apart to make sure the cylinders are not craked, crank is not seized or scored
valves are not bent and vale guides are in good shape etc.

 

yea all greats points ... Pretty much all that's missing off of it in sure I have in my storage closet I got over a 100 parts just sitting ... But ur right im fearing the worst with this one I've rebuilt a few motors b4 and this one is a lol bit worst than I expected ... But hey ... The dizzy I'm sure I don't have and the I a few other lil things but that's for pointing out abt a cracked cylinder never thought of such severe work ... The solenoid does look like its off an H22 9or something ... But it spins free so I'm keeping my fingers crossed .... Stay Tuned ..........

 

Not off to a good start ... Looks like a blown head gasket smells like gas ... I may be paying the machine shop a visit ... Thats clyinder #1 plug wire the rest plug wires are all dry

 

take the head off and take oil pan off with those parts separate you will see if theres major damage.

look into exhaust ports with flashlight. do valves look like mushrooms with alot of buildup on them?


do you have the ebay auction link?

i certainly know first hand from going after the CHEAPEST priced parts they usually cost you about same if not more than buying good parts first time.

this engine is worth maybe 800 dollars tops

 

i'd be feeling pretty nervious if i had bought that. but Raverx3m im sure 150-200 of the 900(if not more) was shipping but still i'd pay 500 tops. good thing with e-bay is it does favor buyers (i do a lot of selling on there) so if it is a dud you'll most likley be able to recover you'r loss.
x2 on the acuction link pls.

 

The Ebay link is

I hear you with the 800 tops but like I stated earlier i got a ton of parts and a 93 LS block jus in case this one is screwed ... I havent done much other inspections on it really not much time recently but tomorrow ill start with the valve pan cover see whats up ... if the heads ok ill be a happy camper

 

Yea im hoping for the best the goo looks like it had a blown gasket ... seems like it was ran hard and rough ...

 

its so rusty i cant tell if theres another hole on the engine mount behind those 2 studs.

but the plug wire might be just leaking seal on valve cover.
although it looks like it was there for loooong time.

waiting to see some pictures of the innards. at least pop the valve cover and take a picture for us lol i wanna see whats under

 

I'm going to do all kinda work tomorrow see what's up with this thing ... The water pump and the tensioner all spin free so it looks bad but it isn't too bad if it all spins I guess but all of that is going to go when I start rebuilding it ... Valve pan cover is the first to come off ... Look out for some more pics tomorrow guys

 

i will have a lot of the extra parts you will need.. im not looking for much on them , but lmk if you would like to get some things from me..

 

"This item is in perfect working condition." obviously, this is not true at all.. just by the missing parts, how can anyone make a bold claim like this? i would hit him up for ebay fraud.

read those comments.. i would never buy stuff from a person such as that.

 

Great man I'll keep that in mind when I'm trying to piece her back together ... I feel u on the eBay part fully working condition my a$$. But if the heads good I'll be aight.

 

yea.. hope it wasnt overheated.. machining can be expensive etc.. ive got an extra timing belt, brand new , two gsr manifolds, with sensors etc..fuel rail...stock good cond. valvetrain. etc.. selling it for reasonable prices. not looking to get rich lol

 

Yea man I might be interested in the fuel rail what abt injectors ? .... I hope she didn't run hot either hoping it was a cam seal leak or something ... I'm just abt to poop the valve pan cover

 

im not sure yet. Im waiting on things to arrive in the mail. So for right now, im in the middle of a cylinder head build.. lol

 

Got the valve cover off dosent look to bad inside ... I broke off two ratchet’s either these things are on tight or I got some cheap a$$ equipment. Hard to get good tools when all u have is Auto Zone in town.

 

what year/how many miles ? looks really grimy. but im sure it could be worse hope the bottom end is ok too.

 

The motor is a 95 ... yeah it looks like it was ran hard with little to no maintenance some guys just mash gas and go not sure on the miles ... Keeping my fingers crossed on the bottom end.

 

I looked at the e-bay link the seller said between 80-85K miles....ya right. find that hard to beleave or just beat on super hard all it's life !. GL

 

Oh yea its well over 80-85K by the look actually it looks like almost close to 200K. I bought it taking a risk ... When u get clean swaps off of sites u never know what ur getting either so hey well see

 

yea you need to get back to ebay seller and get some cash back.
thats a full rebuild looks like.thats gonna cost you armandaleg.

he lied alot. and usually you see this condition in a beat up 92 integra or early 90s hatch when the owner thinks hes a real racer and smashes on every car next to him but then cant afford an oil change.

there are 2 types of engines i would buy
1 its all dusty and looks like it hasnt been touched since assembled from factory.
2 its been worked on alot but you can eat off it and thres no grease anywhere.

this one looks like he tried but baller on the budget and gave up.
