FOR SALE Type 4 1800 (AP) bottom end/crankcase

Discussion in 'Late Bay Parts Classifieds' started by PeaSoup, Oct 7, 2013.

  1. I have an 1800 type 4 bottom end/crankcase for sale. Engine code is AP.

    Can't really tell you that much about it as I got it from Grazzer who had got it as a spare for parts.

    All he could tell me is that it has quite substantial end float and is also in need of a new cam shaft - although all four solid followers are in place should it turn out the cams are OK.

    Crankshaft and con rods are included and look to be OK.

    Note that a few of the long head mounting studs are missing.

    Although very dirty I can't see any cracks anywhere in the case and so it looks to me like an ideal starting point for a rebuild.

    No idea what it's worth, so how about starting at £50 and feel free to make me offers.

    This would definitely need collecting from Kidlington, Oxford, and ideally as soon as possible as it's sat in my van at the moment and need it gone!

    I will have one of the heads, and some of the pistons and barrels from this engine for sale soon - just need to sort them out, check them over and take some pictures!

    Any questions then please ask and I'll do my best to answer, however I can't say I know much about engines! Also, if you want photos of any particular bits then just let me know what.

    Thanks.

  2. i`ll go £ 50
     
  3. Thanks for the offer but am hoping I can get more than £50 for it and so i'll decline the offer. Thanks anyway :)
     
  4. Looks like i've over priced it at £150. £100 anyone?
     
  5. Its heads Im after!!!
     
  6. And me. :)
     
  7. Bump...

    £80 anyone?

    Collection only from Oxford though.
     
  8. Reduced to £50.
     
  9. :)
     
  10. Have asked lhu1281 if he wants it for £50 and sadly he's already got hold of an engine in the meantime :(
     
  11. Bummer.

    Glws :D
     
  12. If I was closer, I'd add it to the stockpile for £50 :cool:
     
  13. Please someone take this away from me. Any offers at all - even stupidly low ones???
     
  14. If it has substantial end float like you say then its prob only worth the scrap value. Sorry. :(
     
  15. The flywheel is missing... I should guess that it does have a lot with it missing ;)
     
  16. I was assuming the end float had been measured properly before peasoup got it. My bad, maybe. :)
     
  17. I've no idea whether it was measured properly. Flywheel was already missing when I got it and I was told that it had "substantial" end float. Was given it as a "buy one get one free" gift with a 2 litre bottom end that I'm using as a base for a rebuild!

    Anyway, think I have conned Oscar it to taking it off my hands in exchange for an alternator bracket :)
