spare or repairs type r sti 4 engine
due to to going down 2.5 rout iv decided to sell on my engine out my type as it has lost compresson in number 1 cylinder i think(1 nearist the battery)
i believe its down to rings but not 100% could just be head gasket perfect pre running order rebuilt by prevous owner (another memeber on here) less than 6ooomiles ago
bottom end was sweet as a nut no knocks or rattles so crank rods and even piston should be perfect and heads are mint also as we have inspected all when looking with the snap on bore camera
heads are genuin sti 4 heads all again all mint and still complete and fitted to the engine
i ideally want to sell as a complete engine as it should be a good build for some 1
its still fitted at the mo but will be getting removed in next couple days it be sold as a long engine no other parts attached
open to offers
collection from walsall west midlands
call or tx 07785942237

cris what gaskets you buying for 450 mate gold plated 1s??you should able get away with just the 1 head off and pop the piston out to replace the rings so only a new haed gasket and head bolts and rocker cover gasket is need 4 the 1 side
as for knowing what it is its 95% rings mate the bores and that look good with the snap on scope and the piston and valves the rings are passing oil so 95%its just rings bud
