Price is not bad at all but I'd just be a little worried about that block stamp. If you don't get hassled by cops then go for it

 

you mean where it says the b18 part.
well ive never been harrased by the cops about my car so i think im cool on that part.

 

Well if the motors not smoking and nothings wrong it looks to be a sweet deal. I think he said it was making low power because he had a stock exhaust.

 

i think he is talking abou tthe fact that that looks had engraved

 

oh really why would he keep a stock exhaust?
i got an exhaust on my ek that im going to drop and its a pretty decent one. i got 2 1/4
piping but i think i read that i should do 2 1/2

 

which letters, the one on the block

Yeah with a 1.8l, 2.5" would be better

 

the guy said something about it when it idles it would seem like it was going to die.
he said its becuase of the skunk2 cams. some tuning would get rid of that and and also hell give me the original cams

 

Yeah the Pro 1s have a pretty bad idle. Someone that knows how to tune those cams should be able to fix it though. My friend has those cams and they idle all over the place.

I have the Skunk2 Stage 2s and they idle pretty good

 

so i guess this stuff is pretty legit

 

its always a risk.

 

that block number has definitely been grinded down before. they probably stole it, grinded it down, and restamped it. sounds like the seller is pretty shady to me, but it's your cash. if a cop pops your hood, you probably won't be harassed, but the chp will definitely f**k with you about that.

 

i personally would stay away from any engine thats been "modded". stay with a 100% complete stock motor for better turnover results. some people that sell " modded" engines sell them because they messed it up. but you never know. just be carfull.

 

yeah theres always a risk. why would chp be the one to mess with me.

because their officers go through extensive training on mods, swaps, as well as what to look for with regard to stolen goods. the chp knows their ****.

 

Well you look like a guy who will learn the hard way. Your better off goin to http://www.h-motorsonline.com they have very good deals and dont screw you over.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

hmotors has screwed me before.

 

im always sketchy about buy sombody elses project motor. you feel me!

 

ya who knows what he did with the motor i would have it comp tested before buying the motor make sure everythings in check becuase you dont want to buy somthing and have it be a peice of **** allso with the block stamps and trans vin i been hassled by the cops out in the IL area for this bullshit haveing a swaped motor they took down everything and called it in to see if my **** was stolen like wtf bitch i paid for my **** get the expletive out of here but now its on recorded that my car has what it has and is legit so no more hassle by dick cops seems like a good price though

 

what extra things wouldi have to do to make this work on my car?

 

If you ever plan to CARB your car with that motor, be prepared to show documentation to the referee. They will look for VIN # and block stamping. If you fail, you won't be able to smog you car legally.
