miamigtimark 3 1 Cars Posted February 28, 2010 Hi. picking up one of these complete with loom / ecu and manifolds. Its not in the car so i know it could be an unknown quantity in terms of condition. I am assured it can be cranked by hand but what other checks can i do before i part with the cash???? Cheers!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted February 28, 2010 Not allot, If it's not running then I'd pay no more than £75.00 for it as allot have had belts snap and badly repaired no matter what the seller say's, I have lost count with the amount of bad engine's I;ve been given even so call rebuilt one's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miamigtimark 3 1 Cars Posted March 1, 2010 Thanks miles. Well i bought it. Checked for mayo on the filler cap etc. Cranked it by hand and no issues. Oil looked fresh / filter newish. Would it do any damage to crank it from a battery to starter??? Bit scared now. The irony here miles is that i was talking to you on ebay a few days ago regarding conversion. Thanks for the advice. ~Ill be in touch v soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
