I thoughtI hadthe link at my work but I didn't.Then I totally forgot about it till now.However you might be in luck, there is an engine on ebay right now for dirt cheap and it might be even in driving range to you.Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/cbr-1...Q5fAccessories

 

thank you i am acctualy in contact with that guy on ebay rite now the only prob is the alt. hanging half way out of the motor. that isnt that big of a deal to me though at least if i pick that up i can get this beast on the highway till i get the other motor rebuilt. i wish he had a little more info on the motor such as compression readings and oil pressure and such but beggers cant be chosers right.

 

Good stuff!

If you can get the alterantor back in, and the starter is still on the engine, you can easily do a compression check. That's better nothing. Look into the exhaust ports. If they is too much oily build up then the engie is probalby suing oil. Some carbon build up is normal. You can also pull the plugs and have a look at the tips. If this engine was for sale a month ago, I would have jumped on it. There a some things you can do to get an rough idea what shape the engine is in, so it's not all unknown.

Let us know how it goes.
