I've removed the 1800 type4 engine from my bus and I'm considering selling it. A part of me says to keep it because it's a "known" good engine with a lot of work/parts/time/money gone into but if there's someone going to wave cash in my face I could be convinced to let it go.
It's an 1800cc type 4 engine, complete from rocker cover to rocker cover, from clutch to exhaust tip. All tinware, alternator, heat exchangers, silencer, rear engine support bar are all there. It's exactly as it came from my running van. COMPLETE.
It's got a new 215mm clutch kit just 1000miles ago and the cylinder heads were completely rebuilt by HPMP in Tullow, Co. Carlow with new valves, guides, valve seats. That was about 3000 miles ago, in 2007. It's got twin Weber 34ICTs with the full linkage kit and cone filters. It's also got a Facet solid-state fuel pump, the original mechanical pump has been removed and blanked off. It's had new rings fitted at the same time as the head rebuild with the cylinders honed at the same time. New Elring gasket set fitted throughout plus the crank oil seal that doesn't come in the gasket set. It's a good strong engine with no issues.
If I remember any more details I'll update the ad.
So, the dirty bit: I'm looking for €1800 for it. I think it's well worth it. Break it down and do the sums yourself, you'll see what it would cost to build/rebuild an engine like this. I don't *have* to sell it, I would like to keep it "just in case" but as I said if someone has cash for me...
if I can find a 2litre gearbox I'll have a known good 1800cc "5-rib" gearbox for sale too...
