I looked at the list
etiquette<http://gerry.vanagon.com/info/etiquette.html>and didn't see
anything saying we couldn't post items for sale to list.  If
I'm breaking a rule then please let me know and I'll not do it again and you
can delete my message.

Hi I'm Ry Blaisdell. I have stuff for sale.  I'm in Bryan,
TX.<http://goo.gl/maps/DMmt>

Complete 2.1 liter engine.  Purchased through
BusDepot<http://busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=025100771>,
which sources them from AVP <http://www.avpworldwide.com/>in California.
*The good:*
Installed the motor ~1 year ago/10,000 miles ago.
Motor runs great.
New AFM(not rebuilt)
Has tencentlife external oil cooler(will sell separately)  *MOTOR IS NOT A
TENCENTLIFE MOTOR*
A/C compressor working when removed(blowing cold ~41F at front vent)
Pwr steering pump working
Alternator working (has reinforced bracket installed from gowesty)
Includes complete exhaust with newish Catalytic Converter
ECU included if you want it with partial wiring harness(I had to cut off
some plugs to use for the Subaru conversion)

Does not include pressure plate or clutch.

*The bad:*
Rear main seal(the one that is behind the flywheel, I *will not* argue with
you about semantics of rear versus front main seals.)
This leaked from day one.  Not bad, just a drip.  The drip rate was
approximately 1/2 US quart per 3,000 miles at time of engine removal.

That's all that's bad.  It'd be easy to replace with the motor out right
now.

I will ship if someone wants to pay shipping, but would much prefer a local
pickup or nearby delivery.

install.<http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/tW9WscQspmQKi4cxnwQUJw?feat=directlink>

 (motor for sale is on the engine stand *NOT* to be confused with the new
motor in foreground)

All things negotiable via Private Mail.

best regards,
