engine with no oil help ?

[glanza_dan]

I can get a 5e engine to go forged, but he said there was no oil in the engine and run has run it dry, My question is would the crank be damaged or the bottom end i.e sideways ?


thanks

cant he wasnt £100 for it might be a waste off £100

thats why im asking

 

[jabran200]

if the engien has been run dry as in no oil

number 1: He knows nothing about mechanics
number 2: It will be a duff engine for sure
number 3: slap him

 

[glanza_dan]

im just looking to buy the bottom end for my forged 5e
so realy need to know is it worth buying or will the crank or sidewalls will be damaged ?

Crank will need a re-grind for sure.

As for other parts, you will only know until you take it apart.
Its £100, not exactly big money for an engine.

ok thanks, would it be worth buying for £100 what you think
as it going to get forged. just dont want it bugging upwhen i spend all that money i.e the crank



thanks

I would buy it for £100.
But i know what im doing with it

If a crank is re-ground properly, and the bearings are matched well, then there should be no reason for it to fuck up.
Look after an engine, and it will look after you.

Offer the guy £50 for it, he can only say no.

With a new oil pump, reground crank and the bores machined to match the new pistons it should be fine.
