The original 1530xx mile 2.5L M20 engine from my car is up for sale. This is the i engine. $250 picked up. Located in Southeastern Mass.
This is a complete longblock from valve cover to oil pan. You will have to attach your own wiring, intake and exhaust manifolds, acessories, etc. Perfect for someone who already has an 'i' engine, but snapped a t-belt or something like that.
I pulled the engine late last summer, and it's been on a stand sitting in my garage ever since.
No oil in coolant, no coolant in oil. I first performed a compression test but I forgot to hold the throttle body open, resulting in some whack comp numbers. For the next comp test I put a few drops of oil in the cylinder. I thought about the whack comp numbers, then it dawned on me that I forgot to open the throttle body!
I drove the car around for 10 miles to burn off any oil, and got the engine to full operating temperature. The no oil comp numbers are shown first, followed by the comp numbers after a squirt of oil.
Comp test, hot engine, measurement taken after three cranks, performed 8/8/06
Cylinder 1: 150
Cylinder 2: 152
Cylinder 3: 149
Cylinder 4: 150
Cylinder 5: 148
Cylinder 6: 155
Each cylinder came up to pressure very quickly, probably around 80 psi on the first crank.
Comp test, warm engine, with squirt of oil in cylinder, measurement taken after three cranks, performed 7/28/06
Cylinder 1: 180
Cylinder 2: 175
Cylinder 3: 172
Cylinder 4: 170
Cylinder 5: 172
Cylinder 6: 170
The engine runs smoothly and powerfully, though there is a little bit of valve noise. Probably needs an adjustment. Dist cap, rotor, AC, Alt, PS, and timing belt done at 126,321 in Feb 03. The engine leaks oil.
I could be convinced to sell some of the accessories (PS pump, functioning AFM, alternator) if you convince your sister to grant me a few sexual favors. No fat chix though. Seriously, though, cash is fine. If you show up, heck I might even throw in a few of the accessories.
