MO Running low compression renesis engine

Category: Accessories
Price: $500
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Location (US State/Canada/Int): MO
Item Condition: New

Selling a running low compression motor from a 2005. Mileage unknown, motor starts and runs. Does not smoke, but is down on compression. Rear rotor is fairly even at just under 90psi, front is uneven with 70psi on the low faces and 80 on the high. Does not leak oil, nor does it smoke.

It is still in the car and I can start it and run if for interested parties, would be good for a rebuilder if you are a DIY guy or just need the parts for your pile. asking 500 plus shipping OBO, keg only, front cover to flywheel.

Some accessories are also available, LIM, UIM, TB, Injectors/fuel rail.

I have this pulled out and ready to go, I could part this out if there is any interest. This engine starts and runs, would make a great project for someone wanting to do a rebuild or needing good parts to fix yours.

Included for the $500 or are you asking more? How many miles were on the motor? Normal street car, never overheated. Just lost compression due to time and mileage?

I can include whatever you want. The motor was tracked, never hot, started and ran prior to removal. Speeds were down a bit and I checked compression to find it this. I would have had this one rebuilt but wanted to switch to series II so this one is out. I figure 500 is a fair deal on parts alone even if the housings are bad. If the housings are usable it is a steal. Could tear it down and inspect but really just want it to go as one piece to save the trouble.

I already have a spare I need rebuilt but for $500 I might get a second. I have to think about it.

Shipping to MN is 100 or less for sure, I would ship you the engine only for 550, or a 100 more if you want all the accessories.... Intake all the way to the throttle body, fuel rails and injectors, just tell me how you want it.

To CA probably 175 for shipping.

Someone beat you to it via pm to me earlier. I'm awaiting payment, if for some reason that falls through you are first to be notified.
