what is this motor worth

[archangel62]

Not ideal, but it could be worse. With the quality of ACL gear these days I'd say the engine will be fine.

The first build I ever did, the stupid nikki carby screwed out and pumped petrol through the motor, coughing and spluttering, for maybe twenty minutes before I gave up and killed it to try to sort out what was going on. Then of course, being a high comp 2lt, I had no idea that you have to run huge amounts more timing, so it wouldn't run cleanly for ages.

Nonetheless the engine went pretty hard. I think once upon a time it would have been a write-off build, pull it apart and re-re-ring it... Yet it turned out pretty good.

Your engine will probably be fine. Bed it in again as soon as it's warm, next time you drive it... Then when you've clocked maybe 50, 100km with it, drop your oil, change your oil filter and drive fairly normally, alternating the load and driving circumstances, hills is a good idea as is a decent trip, not sitting on a constant RPM or throttle though if possible.

So yeah again I reckon 1500-2500 for the engine, if it was mine with those carbies I'd be aiming for 2500 and take no less than 2000... I gotta say though man, if I was you, I'd probably be keeping that white Gem for awhile with that engine, it looks like a mean machine.

sorry to shoot you down here but if you rebuilt it then you would have to pay me to take it

and if it sat there with no load for 30 minutes then you did not do the rings any favours


same as the cam was it new if so how did you run that in

it ran for ten minutes then i put load on the motor by doing a burnout out and then i took it for a small drive around my place. i am still runing it in but i had to tune it before i drove it just be be safe. when the car is finished i like take it for a big drive like up hills and s*#t. my boss did the bottom end i just bolted the head down and archangle62 did the cam timming and s*#t i just tuned it i will get a video of it soon if you dont belive me that is runs good

Fuk. I knew I forgot to do something !!

i can run my motor in how ever i like if it f&*ks up that is on me not any one else so why do you care so much about it

yer but i want a coupe in about 3 months if i had more money i would put this motor in a coupe. the twin carbys owe me 1000 as that what i paid for them to get rebuilt and cleaned out and new jets and filters and all that stuff.

i'm not sure but it could have something to do with the fact your looking at selling it

[dbart1961]

I bet they are lining up at the door to buy it too!

[draevon]

Best ad ever. I'd say after this thread, that engine's worth about $23

[swodo]

Kartracer are you actually looking to sell the engine? Or are you just curious about how much its worth? Like someone said it is worth what someone is willing to pay. How much would you like to get for it?

[kartracer1841]

it is not for sale i was just wondering what it is worth

Can anyone translate this from Penriffese to English?

Anyway dw man, I had some bad press for my first engine - when I posted threads about the issues I was having with the carby etc. At the end of the day when everyone with their stock 161's are done throwing s*#t or cracking wise, there will be someone that wants to buy your motor if you want to sell it. Patience is a virtue, it took me a few months but I got what I wanted.

i asked a simple question i didnt say i wanted to sell it you f*#k wit just what is would be worth. i bet you cant even change the oil on your car other then rebuilding it. why would i sell it after i spend all this money on rebuilding it. also everyone has the own ways on rebuilding motors and runing them in. i will tell you how it goes any 100,000 km or so if a gemini can last that long. why do i always get stupid answers from dick heads or people just saying i cant to anything or when i do it they say i do it the wrong way. the v6 runs doesnt it. stockgemils1 what have you built or done in your gay f*#cked up life that you have to worry about what i do.

You need to take more time to think about what you are posting.

Is it clear, logical and truthful? Does it even need to be asked?

I wouldn't have asked this question in the first place, I'd have searched for similar engines in the For Sale section and gauge what they're selling for.

...Stop making useless posts.

[swodo]

Only way to know what it's worth would be to sell it and see what you get for it. Other than that it's only value is what you value your blood and sweat at.

[stockgemils1]

hey dumb f*#k have a look what i built c*#t you got no idea loser i would love to bitch slap you cause you are so f@*ken dumb
