So...just sparking some discussion. check out the ad and then give your feed back with your opinion. We are not looking for a motor or looking at buying this. Just wondering what everyone's thought is as far as, parts, quality, pricing, ect... muskegon.craigslist.org/pts/2391532806.html ;D unlinked the ad. copy and paste |

It's telling me the link is no good or the post was deleted. The only place I'd go to have a motor built, maintained, or other wise would be D&R Buggys in Rose City. The prices are always great and the work is top notch.

I don't know. I mean who hones 94mm jugs? It means they are used for the second time. Most would have just replaced them with new. Who knows how many other cost cutting was done! Plus who goes through all that and then doesn't start it!!! Ya right! Something smells and it isn't the engine from that oil cooler restricting flow through the fan  |

No offense to whoever is selling it, but... looks like a $2000 polished terd. Lots of pretty on the outside, but, who knows what is lurking inside. As Dan said, the oil cooler over the shroud intake is a sure sign of other "mistakes". Also, why hone and re-use the cylinders, to save money? After the machine work and new rings, you could have bought new P+C's, to put under the new EMPI chrome "jug shrowds". It sounds like it is full of new EMPI parts... I build my own engines for a reason...  |

Have you guys priced new P/C sets lately. Mahle 94s are now $300.00. A good set of stock pistons are like $200.00. I know that the China stuff is cheaper I still don't have the heart to try them yet.
