i was just wondering if i should buy a b16 form a 99 civic si form my frend for only $220 for the motor and tranny the only little detail with it its that his car got stolen and its burned to the ground ... MY question is what would i have to replace on it beside sensors, wires, hoses ......WOuld i need to redo gaskets and all what about piston rings?, rod bearings, head valves or anything? what about the tranny ? well im just paying the money for the whole car i have to go and get it out if i dont get it he wants 500 for the whole car for anyone else if i dont get it ill tell you all ok :thumbup:

 

Well, not knowing how much damage the fire may have caused the engine, I'd say it's prolly worth $220.

 

Impossible to say without at least pics. For all we know, plastic hose melted and oozed inside the block. Or sensors could be essentially welded in place... or - depending on the heat - certain things could be warped beyond repair.

On the other hand, it could be totally fine.

We need pics!

 

if everything's in good condition, jump on it like an easy drunk blonde :thumbup: h:

 

And end up with the automotive version of VD ...
