I spotted an engine for sale in the GTA on kijiji... No affiliation.

Just got the story on that motor. Has a valve train noise on cylinder 4.
The motor was replaced under a third party warranty and now he's trying to sell it. Essentially it's a CORE MOTOR that he never even paid for. Kinda greedy if you ask me. I offered him $2000 as I MIGHT be able to use the heads from my car on it but its a HUGE RISK to take even at $2000. The core would be worth about $1250 if I'm lucky.
GRRRRRRRRRRR

Something doesn't add up with that engine. If it was a warranty replacement, the insurance company owns the engine. Also, does a crate engine from Porsche comes with the mufflers?

anyways not looking to debate but these engines have been used at very high gs and usually don't blow up.
and very sorry for your bad luck. I for one am pulling for your luck to improve...usually does if you have the right attitude. You probably are luckier than you think compared to some people's problems. again good luck, hope it all works out.

Why wouldn't you have insurance fix the hail damage so that the buyer only has the motor to deal with? Worth it for the cost of the deductible I would think, no?

no offence as I am sure you are a great driver but I am pretty sure there are better drivers tracking 997s, including full blown race cars using 997 engine ie the recent koni series cars. but if that makes you feel better about the whole thing, maybe you are the STIG!

I wasn't a pro or anything but I hade a lap here of there that was less than 3 seconds off the fastest stock gt3 drivers out there. All I'm saying is that I have evidence that the car saw over 1.2g and that there have been recorded issues in such cases.

The engine failed due to oil starvation?
