Default Block Needed ASAP

A friend of mine just completed a full engine overhaull. It appears that he was sent the wrong type of rings or just inferior rings.. Well 100 easy miles later, the rings are history, and it appears that they damaged the block.

I need a bare block in good condition, will consider a complete short block.. Please email me with details and price... Don't ask me to make an offer, my response will be $1

Thanks

I'm doing an engine overhaul now too - sorry to hear about the damaged block. Do you have more info about how the block was damaged, what brand of rings were used, etc. ? Would be good to avoid destruction of another 951 block. I'll keep my eyes open for a block for you.

John - you want my spare block? Probably wouldn't be too much trouble for you and I to work out a barter deal.

Yep, we have them in stock, you can order it either bare or as a short block.

Give us a call for a quote.
