The Project Pad

** UPDATE 4/19/2019
The engine is gone, as are the flywheel, exhaust flange, and fuel rail.

I think I'm going to keep the coils as spares. The alternator is still available for $100 and I'm willing to ship it at buyer's expense.

Oh and the car it was going to be put into is also still for sale: http://www.theprojectpad.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3054

Sadly I think it's time to accept the fact my 07K project isn't going to happen, and get this lump of cast iron out of the garage!

This is a lowish-mileage (about 40K IIRC) engine I got from someone on MG a few years ago. It's missing a few things... particularly the drive components for the camshafts (both timing chains, idler gear, guides, etc.), and the vacuum pump (usually replaced by a cover anyway). The head's sitting on the block - most of the bolts are missing as is the gasket but I'm 90% sure I bought a head gasket set that will come with the engine. Most valve cover bolts are missing, as are accessories like alternator, P/S pump, and so on.

I'll try to get more details like the engine code over the next few days. I do think it's a later engine that's unlikely to have a forged crankshaft. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Free pickup in Wilmington, MA only... I can't ship it.

Oh and I do have a few conversion parts I can add for a reasonable price. Flywheel, steel exhaust flange, fuel rail... I think that's it.

Edit: I realized actual numbers are probably more helpful than "reasonable" for the pricing for the extras: $200 for the flywheel*, and $25 each for the exhaust flange (as I said above it's 3/8" regular steel, not stainless) and fuel rail. The fuel rail comes all by itself... I don't have the mounting brackets or fittings.

* Flywheel is brand-new, just test-fitted to the engine, never even bolted on! It does have a little light surface rust from being stored (indoors) for a few years.

Another edit: whoever takes the engine gets first dibs on the "extra-cost options". If whoever takes the engine doesn't want that stuff, I'll ship it at buyer's expense.

I just actually looked at the engine and my notes and here are a few updates:
* The *lower* timing chain is present, as is the gear that connects the lower to the upper chain (and drives the vacuum pump). So all that's needed is the upper chain and everything that goes with it: guides, tensioner, and so on. I have a list of what I think are the correct part #s if interested.

* I'm pretty sure the engine code was on a sticker that fell off and is now lost so I don't have that. But in my notes I have that it's from a 2012 car. I bought it in 2015.

* I have the coiis (OE, 07K905715F), will sell the set of 5 for $50.

* And I have the alternator that came on the car. It's a 140A unit and appears to be a Bosch rebuilt, it has a sticker on it with part number 213-9690 and some current measurements. It looks like it had been in service about a week... it's pristine. $100 for that.

* I do have the water pump, thermostat housing (new), and serpentine idlers/tensioners/brackets. I do not have the a/c compressor.

* And most important: it's got a brand-new oil cap.

Something else I just discovered... the accessory bracket is in a bin and I haven't laid eyes on it in years. But I found this photo from when I bought the engine and it looks like the top has been cut off:

Bump... nobody wants a free engine?

I'd take it if you weren't averse to shipping. I mean... why not? lol

Engine, and the add-ons except the alternator are gone. See first post for details.

And thanks to Tim for providing a new home for this engine!
