Just watched this complete engine go on ebay £51

You're either familiar with that particular engine and know it's f*cked or it's a crappy old single port that would make a nice base for a glass topped table, assuming you spent several weeks cleaning it up?

 

A known good AS41 Dual relief case is much sought after

 

I bet he sold it to the guy that's passing it on...."Yeah mate....it's out of a Mexican Porsche"..... the Cad!

 

that's a modern case

 

That's what i thought. AS41 universal case.

 

There must be some big savings on heating bills here, what with the anoraks and all....

 

Nowt wrong with single port heads on a bus. I'd doubt it's a "modern" universal case - I can't see the T3 filler hole. AS41 alloy was used on loads of stuff.

The real peril of eBay engines is that you don't know what state the engine's in - may have loads of endfloat and be complete scrap. Always usful to ask why it was removed in the first place.

 

and an unknown quantity...£51 for the case alone would be a steal assuming it was in good nick internally...the seller obviously has plenty of experience, considering he's off-loading spares to make room for more stuff...if he knows his onions, he knows how much a good case will fetch, so it begs the question, why no realistic reserve price?

 

Doesn't take long does it... Glad to see your on the mend @Moons

 

still a bargain
