Taken from a GTO MK 1 Twin Turbo. I was going to keep as a spare and refurb it but not all compatible with my 97 GT TT. I have replaced the front cam cover with one i had previously refurbed for spare but i have put on this with new gaskets. There was a little rust around the seam on the sump so it has been sanded back and a good quality rust converter applied ready for painting. The engine turned over when it was in the car recently but had been standing for a while. Coolant flushed through when taken out so all clear inside. I have also left the clutch on which looks like it has very little wear. The harmonic balancer will need to be replaced.
£1,200 pick up from Watford
I also have the turbos and plenum etc to go with it but this is just the basic engine.
I had a forged engine built by Eurospec in their end days, lasted about 3 months.
I’ve pulled it apart and had it checked, bent Crank and all kinds of issues.
I was looking for a Mk2 forged crank. I’m half considering the stroker crank, but my faith has been a little shattered after spending so much on it last time, only for it eat itself so suddenly.
@ptslimited in case your not aware you can buy a brand new mk2 forged crank direct from Mitsubishi- it’s not cheap but you can then use the standard bearings etc…
