Title: What's it worth?
Post by: motohorseman on April 06, 2014, 01:24:36 PM
Hopefully this is not the wrong place to ask this -

FJ1100 motor, built to 1350 with carillo rods, all good stuff, some other stuff, what's it worth? I can't decide to make an offer on it, or help sell it.

Pulled the packing out of a exhaust port -

Any and all help appreciated -

Before the owner passed away, he was planning on putting this on -

What do you want to do with it Steve?
If it's built for a turbo, it probably has low compression pistons...who knows?
Who was the engine builder?

Local gentleman who passed away in 2010. I don't believe he had time to swap the pistons out, was in the middle of fabricating the turbo.

He used to take a lot of Tylenol for pain, which ate his liver up which ate his kidney's up, he went pretty quick, a shame.....
