Bit dubious about his stated spec, but not bad for the money...

For that money you could build it up and flog it on. Complete that little lot would fetch £500+

this is the first time i have seen the auction, if it sells cheap its a bargain, even if it was all standard parts!

looking at the top down pic of the block the bores have certainly been lined.

I can believe that, I'd be hard pushed to find even half the receipts for my engine parts.

but....

If I had a quid for every time that engine has been listed I could have easily brought it by now.

lol, keeping the standard flywheel!

my favourite bit though...'A master engineer crafted the head with huge bhp in mind!'

I just had this image of an old one eyed bloke, sat in his shed 'crafting' the head with a pen knife!

The block has been freshly (unused) bored out to a 1293cc engine with offset bores (complete with uprated linings) and skimmed with recessed competioin gasket area to give you the best possible compression (8.9-1)

Its had the face undercut to take SS compression rings thats what your seeing, the counter bored area not the tops of linners

On it as soon as I get my account sorted. If that is the group 'A' gasket to go with the machine work then this has to be worth a punt.

At worst it can join the rest of the turbo motors lined up in the work shop.

If you want my advice do NOT hand over any money unless you go and fetch all this in person.

If I remember right this has been advertised in plenty of far flung places, including the Isle of Man?

im confussed, these places are only far flung if you live far away!

people do live in Aberdeen, and isle of man, a shed load of ppl!

"Aberdeen is to far for most to travel" not if you live in scotland or want the item for sale. just had a friend collect some wheels from scotland, he lives in cambridgeshire.

"Nigerian I bet." racial posting, like it *oh well*

so far this guys sale has been slated due to being to far away, because it has been for sale for a long time, lack of reciepts (i have £3000 of brand new stuff laying about with no reciepts) or his poor choice of vocabulary "mastercrafted" is not ideal... whats the real reason everyone is telling people not to buy it?

seriously tho, why is everyone complaining about it, the guy has some stuff for sale and hes struggling to sell it in a climate when no one has any money and he happens to live somewhere that is further away than you would be prepared to get it from, good job you dont want to buy it then!

In all honesty, I hope someone gets a good engine out of it. But there must be a reason why it has been advertised so many times??

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

because it was probably only on 7 day listings, i've been trying to sell my mini for 2 months, thats nearly 8 times i would have had to advertise it, damn difficult to sell anything at the moment, especially something that is going to require the buyer to put it together, thats a small market to sell to.

The exact same picture and story has appeared plenty of times, in plenty of different locations. Plus if I remember rightly someone off here expressed a serious interest in it, and when trying to make arrangements to go and look at it all, this wasn't possible. I smell a rat, and like I said above, I strongly advise for no-one to hand over any money until they have seen this with their own eyes.
