UK Turbo engine
Firstly - The block was changed for an STI item but I decided to go further so this was followed by the heads 6 months later thats why the heads are off the block. Any inspection welcome. All work was carried out by BHP Developments (Wuz on here) so he can vouch for why the heads are off the block.
UK turbo block - all present and correct, no noise or issues. Was used in my MY97 Catalunya for 70k miles, removed around 12 months ago to fit an STI unit and has been dry stored in my shed ever sinse.
It was run at standard boost with no more than a back box fitted for most of its life then a full de-cat for the last 6k!!
UK turbo heads - to go with the block above. Again all present and correct, no issues.
Block = £200
Heads = £80
Both = £260
I'm pretty sure I have a set of head gaskets and head bolts that I could throw in if someone wanted to take the lot
I don't have the time or I would build them and sell as a long block.
Collection preffered from Aberdeen or I can arrange to send them at cost price. (will provide copy of invoice for sending costs, no profit made from this)

My way of looking at this was............
I did reply saying that both heads and block will fit just fine reusing your phase 1 inlet manifold and wiring loom. And that they are all pretty much the same items as you already have. I think we have passed about 6 PM's back and fore and I have tried to be as informative as I can. I've also tried to answer all questions, (not just yours, everyones) as quickly as possible. But at no point did you say Yes you are deffo going to buy the block or heads???
So how could I reserve these items for you???
I did similar with my STI block and the sale fell through about 4 times and I had turned down other folk who wanted it, then when I contacted them back they had found other engines.
I have been speaking to about 4 people about this engine. I got a reply from one guy saying that he is deffo going to have it and that he will pay on Friday. As yet he hasn't done so......... I also have a guy who has said he will come and collect the block and heads from my house this weekend - lets be honest thats the easiest and quickest solution for me as it saves me posting and means I also sell the heads in a oner!!! but yet I have tried to hold off for the first guy to say he will pay the next day.......so I'd say I have tried to be true to my word and so on. I have no real need to sell this engine, I just know I wont need it so thought I'd offer it on here and in the process get some cash to help fund my project. If I was in it for a quick back I would have sold it all to the guy that can collect this weekend. Easy money for no hastle.
Where do I go from here????............... I will give the first person who said he deffo wants it till the end of the weekend and then it will simply go to the first person who pays for it.
Sorry if this has offended anyone or has caused issue for anyone. It was not my intention I can assure you. I only ever try to help.

Well a few months on and the engine is still here. LOL 
Its still available if anyone want a cheap engine!!! £250 for the lot to clear more stuff out my shed.
We move house on the 26'th of Feb and I'd rather it was gone before then so I dont have to move it along with all the other bits and pieces I have aquired over the years.
If not then I will probably end up building this into a complete long engine in the summer when I have more time and sell it like that as I will have more room once we move and I get into my new garage.
