Hello all:
I'm about to remove the engine (1100) and 3-rail box from my Mk2 and
upgrade to 1300.
I'd like to get rid of the 1100 engine - any takers? It will be
complete, only minus the alternator upgrade I added.
It likely needs a rebuild - I think it sat for a long time and after I
got it the rings never reseated properly, despite my best efforts ;-)
It starts and runs around town fine, but when hot, and under load, the
blowby causes oil leaks onto the exhaust. Top end sounds fine. Starter
and water pump seem OK. This would really suit someone looking to
rebuild an engine while theirs is still in the car. It may just need a
clean-up and new rings. I didn't run a comp test, but it steadily
improved after I got it - did the Marvel Mystery Oil thing etc., added
breathers - it just never quite ran properly under load.
If you're interested you can come and hear it run before removal.
Clutch gave up so it's a little hard to drive, but we can probably
arrange something. There is also potentially a 3-rail gearbox in the
deal, and I have other misc parts I'd like to unload as well if you're
missing anything.
Not sure what it's worth - a few hundred bucks would be real nice, but
I'm open to offers, particularly if you can help with removal, or
better, if you can do bodywork. I'm not interested in dealing with
shipping on this thing.
Thanks
