these guys are pulling your chain. D series engines are WORTHLESS! No one runs them and no one wants them. What's with everyone going with D series engines!!!!

Oh, buy it...that's a good price. Maybe it comes with some free string cheese also

I would get it but just be careful with the y8 they are know to consume oil and the spin rods. I learned that the hard way along with a friend of mine. And my other friend is haveing the same prob with his y7 mini me. but other than that go for it.

Ok...I purchased the motor and installed it. Runs Purrrrfect. So, I found another motor (D16Z6 complete) for $400. I picked it up and gonna swap it into a dd hatch. My dd hatch is a Dx....will the shift linkage work w/the d16z6? Thanks!

DO NOT BE FOOLED...if you spend that hard earned money on that motor you should CHOKE yourself...you will be very sad. Take that 500 and get some greenery, over the next 2 months you should be able to flip it a few times and afford a B18.....do yourself a favor
