Pretty big dirtbag of a seller to knowingly sell a bad iron. I wouldn't use it. What iron/engine is this?

Allegedly part of a Ortiz racing block that blew a seal. I guess they let it sit for way too long and good ole corrosion occurred. It's a !3BRE iron. I was trying to avoid buying a brand new one and after searching for a while I finally found this one.

Local? And I think I know where one is, front/rear/middle? A friend is selling his track FD in the spring and has 2-6 motors around his shop. At least two are 13bre.
*Does that look re-ground and poorly recoated to anyone else? Last edited by the spyder; 11-01-2013 at 11:06 AM. |

yeah i wouldn't use it, doesn't appear to have been re-nitrided and the amount of material removed is probably already beyond spec.
i doubt it would harm compression or the seals however but everything combined is just too risky. looks like typical rust from water sitting in an engine for a year or longer.
