[kwjcoopermk2]

Hi

I am very interested i this engine.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-Cooper-9 ... =RTM742988

Are there someone in here who could by it for me and send it to Denmark.

I will of course cover all costs.

Best Regards Kristian

Have you read the Latin? Buyer beware, the con rods look like, errrr funny S rods.

Don't go around the houses, Ronnie......Sorry to piss on your fire but not only are rods not S they are also in need of some further preparation. Caveat Emptor indeed.

Having said that, if you set yourself a 6000 rev limit and do not race/trackday it, it could last a long time.

The pockets also look HUGE!

The pockets also look HUGE!

it stops the valves hitting the block though mark!

(not that me and mark know anybody who would make such a simple mistake!! ahem!)

[mk1]

I can't imagine who or what you are referring to

[Smiffy]

Those pockets look a lot more efficient, than any I've seen before. Obviously done by someone who thought about the job..........

[mk1]

Bloody close together though!

Kristian, I have a pocketed 998 thin flange block for sale with std crank, rods, flat top pistons (std circlip fit) and duplex chain. There is a AEA630 cam fitted. It turns by hand but probably needs to be checked. I also have a modified 997 head with 1275 valves that could go with it. If this lot could be of interest, let me know, I could send some pictures.

The thing is that I have to be in Denmark (Aalborg) in September and might be able to arrange that I come by car and bring this stuff with me.
