Was a compression check done on this 3.2 Prior to it being pulled?

 

[Sho Amo]

Nah. Probably should have, but I thought I had a buyer for it before I pulled it.

 

[Jonny Cash]

hmm id like the idea of that motor in my shop for future daydreaming purposes... Too bad you wont ship it..

 

[SHOspazz92]

How fresh are the heads? Valve Stem seals? Valve springs?

Looking at some of that stuff. Only problem is driving up there to pick it up. Hopefully this will push fence sitters to pull the trigger and buy. If not, I may have to make an offer or two after I get paid on the 10th. You got good pics of the pistons & 3.2?

See post #52 from page 2 for some of your answer.

Is there anything else done to the motor other than the ported heads? How many miles on it? How much boost were you putting through it? Does it have MTX cams?

 

[Sho Amo]

Heres the rundown on the motor. I didnt keep great track of the mileage, so everything is as best I can remember.


3.2l bought at 109k in '08
Swapped heads at around 120k
new head gaskets
Heads were professionally cleaned
ported and polished
gasket matched
new valve stem seals
3.0 cams
almost new looking cam chain tensioners
Cam and Crank sensors were done maybe 1500 miles ago. Did them before I left for the convention.
rear main seal was done by area91 at 110k


I would do all the cam seals and the front main seal, they werent done long ago but If im swapping a motor I want that stuff done out of the car. The motor wont come with an oil pan, its going with the turbo kit.
I never did the water pump, and doesnt leak but should probably be replaced
The motor was run mostly on 7psi but an occasional 13psi. It always had very conservative timing and fuel because I dont trust my tuning. My boost gauge was a vac gauge as well and always pulled 20in vac at idle, even the night before I took everything apart. This is probably due to shimming the valves at the tight spec. The thermostat housing leaks because the lower stud broke so we had to drill it out and tap it. Easy fix with the engine on a stand.

Im headed over to take some pics of it now. It doesnt come with motor mounts anymore. Someone is buying them.

Remember the heads that Jason was selling at Carlisle a few years back?

 

[Sho Amo]

Needs:
Intake manifold
fuel rails
wire harness (this one is missing coil pack and maf)
Ignition (coil pack, spark plugs, wires, etc.)
pulleys (crank, wp, and ps. still has idlers and alt)



There will be no issue getting it into your truck/van/suv. We have a shop crane, jacks, engine stand, etc.

 

[Sho Amo]

Wow those pictures suck.

Edit: new pics

Rear main - Bone dry


Fresh asss heads

 

[Toolman]

That turbo is not bb is it?

 

[Sho Amo]

No, it isnt Ball Bearing. I wanted something I could rebuild if I had to.

The turbo is a special ordered Precision billet 6265, t3/2.5 v band exhaust housing, .82 ar exhaust, .70 intake. Cost me $900.

 

[Toolman]

Ok thanks. I did not understand pm exactly.

Brake Calipers

Are those Cobra calipers in the photo?
If so, what year, and how much do you need for them?

[Caish]

Would you have the sunroof controls and ceiling console?
What color is it?
How much?
Should fit in a nice flat rate box.

 

[Sho Amo]

Cobra brakes got sold, and sunroof console is gone.

 

[AREA 91]

Pay Pal has been sent!

 

[Sho Amo]

For those interested, ive got a deposit on the turbo setup.

 

[Sho Amo]

Turbo stuff is gone. Ive still got a sexy set of wheels and forged pistons for DIRT CHEAP.

I cant believe these pistons arent gone yet.

 

[zach44102]

I cant believe the pistons are still here. Whats the compression of those pistons? 8:1?
