If u dont want it ill take it. Let me know. San antonio aint too far from Dallas. I have a B17a head that i can use if that one dont work. Ask him if he’d ship it if u dont want it. As for everything else, shoot, ill find a use for it.
One thing before you buy it is to make sure that whats in there is really what you are getting.
What are Toda seals? main seals?
Open up the head and check the cams also to see if they are really Type R camshafts.
Pop open the oil pan and check the oil and the condition of bottom. See if it looks clean in there and there’s no debris in the oil pick up and the pan.
If its really a rebuilt motor with driven for only a little while, then the oil should still be clean.
Also if the VTEC wasnt kicking in, it might have been low oil pressure on the engine setup. which means either the oiling system wasnt piped correctly. THey didnt do the Oil lines for the LS/VTEC properly OR the oil pump has failed and not working at all.
