[Wanted: Parts] wanted 1300/1600 engine

[trev]

due to recent events I find myself in the market for a 1300/1600 engine.

Anyone got one handy?

I've an AR longblock, turning freely but with a bit of an endplay clunk. I paid €250 for it and harvested the tinware, alternator & pedestal from it. I was going to rebuild it as a project but its not going to happen any time soon. Would €100 be ok? I don't mind if you want to hold out for something else but its here if you need it.

thanks Aidan, I'm in the middle of pulling my engine out this afternoon, when I know exactly how bad it is I'll get back to you. How bad is the end play "clunk"? Bad enough to need it machined?

Try Caddy:lol:

it might come to that yet but I'd like to get something running before the drag day.
I've had the kind offer of a loan of an engine so that might be the stop-gap for me.

I'm not great with a dial gauge but I think I'm getting 0.8mm at the flywheel - that'd be in need of machining (0.065mm to 0.125mm are factory specs).

thanks Aidan, I have PM negotiations on the go with another member at the moment, if it doesn't work out I could be back to you. TBH I'd be after something I can build up over the next two weeks for the drag day.

No worries
