Subject:2.1l Waterboxer For Sale
From:Damian Shaw

Here's the story:

I'm adding an a/c system to my 87 Westy and planned on adding the TIICO
engine sometime soon.  Well, the schedule may move up since, to add the
TIICO I would have to open the a/c lines again.  I had planned on
selling my waterboxer when I did the swap and would have prefered to
have someone buy it who could come and test drive it before I pulled
it.  So, if you're in the Salt Lake (Utah) area and interested in a very
good 2.1 let me know.  Here's some of the details:

Located in Sandy, Utah.

Only 85k miles - full synthetic oil since I've owned it (about 50k
miles)

All systems work great.  Very clean very good engine.  Whatever I don't
need for the TIICO swap will be included with the engine.  This means
you'll get:

- an almost-new ignition system
- a perfectly functioning FI system (T.Body has been recently rebuilt so
the idle/full throttle switch works property, Airbox has the add-on
harness, CPU is in good shape, idle stabilizer controller and valve work
great, etc, etc.) - the injectors won't be included.  I will also
include the CPU wiring harness if I don't need it for the swap.
- a very good exhaust system (less the muffler and a few clamps)
- a perfect block - even the lifters are nice and quiet

On the downside:  one of the heads started dripping last winter.  It
only dripped a little and has since stopped.  My plan was to either do
the head gaskets for the new owner or work that into the deal if the new
owner was mechanically enclined.  It shouldn't need new heads, but I
won't know until I pull them.  Catching them this early will probably
work in their favor but we'll see.

I'm on a long time-frame with this so if you're interested let me know
and you can come and do a test drive.

Thanks,

Damian
