jerrodh Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 If your that concerned about a motor for $200 then PAPERWORK PAPERWORK! If he's got said parts/etc. he should have some bills, recipts, etc. for the parts and maybe (hopefully) for the labor. If not its your call cause it could be a good buy or a POS.

BDub Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I usually follow the rule, if it's to good to be true, it probably is. Like its been said, make sure they guy has receipts for everything. If you think any part is sketchy or forged in anyway, it probably is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondacbrboy00 Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 yea he left a note on my car at my job saying he has a civic engine for sale, and it took me like 3 weeks to even call the guy...i finally did, went and looked at it, but it was ready to be dropped in ya know so i really couldnt tell if all the parts are in it like he said. and it also had a bigger fuel rail, bigger injectors, he has the stock ones as well, and he "says" again, true or not idk. the engine only has right around 80k miles. but crap i mean, ive got the vx d15z1, and this thing is falling apart. ive got a seriously bad oil leak, the whole oil pan is soaked all the time, no head gasket leak, its something on bottom end. any suggestions!?
