Why would some one take off the nead cover just to show the inside??
If its local, then have some arrangments with seller if engone is no good..

the guy isn't local, so i have no way of seeing it in person. i thought that was weird too with the head.

he wrote in an email:
hey throttle body isnt in the greatest of shape, it coems with motor, transmission, ITR header, full wiring, new in box intake manifold cover, new in box oil pan ( small leak in the one thats on it now) and new in box thermostat unit, it doesnt come with axles but you wont be using the stock ones anyways for your application, shifter assembly and cables can be bought easily for under 200 and it could use a new valve cover as its scratched abit.

judging from the pics this engine is not in the best shape. that's why i asked for some opinions.

looks like that thing was ****ing dropped out of a plan.....how do u manage to get dents in the valve cover??? wtf? unless it is ungodly cheap, i would say look for a different engine. if he doesnt even know what the milage is then who knows where he got the thing from.

seller is a guy who contacted me through email. i've posted on different forums looking for a k20 engine. $5000 cdn is his asking price

car accidents suck... and would explain why he has no axels, new manifold, and new oil pan... someone wraped the original car around a tree i bet

you sould ask for the serial # and do a carfax on it to see what
your getting into

don't think so :-S but i just chatted with him on msn and his engine is a jdm civic type r k20. is that still 220HP? he also says bent valve cover was due to shipping.

xproductionz - i have no idea if he posts here. he's from toronto.

hmm.. since you both of you live in canada.. dont know how far apart but your best bet is too look at it yourself

toronto from edmonton is like going from seattle to chicago. way to far for me to drive.

Hey, I'm from Toronto and I tell you this:
Forget about this guy.
Use google to search Canadian importers of JDM parts, we have plenty..
2 I can remember: Osaka motors (PQ)and Lucky star automotive (GTA). Both are good, give them a call they will help you with your set up...
Good luck on that one
