998cc Engine (No Gearbox)
Posted: Thu Sep 01, 2011 8:49 amAfter 3 attempts to sell it on Ebay and being let down by 3 different idiots, this needs to go to a new home and I am not bothered if I get nothing for it. If you think it's worth more than nothing, don't give me anything, make a donation to Diabetes UK.
It's a small-capacity Mini engine and the crank is marked 12A1451 which denotes a 998cc A-series lump. There is no engine number on it. What you will get is the block, crank, pistons, head, rocker cover, timing cover and dipstick. You also get an old set of plugs that were in it and the countless years of grime that have built up on the engine
Don't expect an engine you can just bolt on to a gearbox and run as although the crank turns freely the engine had been standing for several years and the oil that came out of resembled lumpy molasses. It is likely to need a rebuild, unless of course you're feeling REALLY brave (or silly)
You need to be able to collect from central Ipswich, Suffolk. No couriers, no delivery, no I am not going to take it to a specific show for you. Ideally I want it gone as soon as possible. I will even provide you with a couple of pics!
