Subject:Broke engine components for sale

To All:

About a year ago my 1984 1.9 L engine burned an exhaust valve after 200,000
miles of excellent service (minus a few head gasket replacements).  I
elected to go the Subaru 2.2 L replacement route and so far am very happy
with the result.  As much attachement as I have for the 1.9L carcass in my
garage, the wife tells me it is time to get rid of it.  It is complete
although one head is removed (I was curious what happened to the valve) and
with 200,000 miles it was tired and using about a quart of oil every 700
miles.  However, it always started and ran fine, even on 3 cylinders.

So if anyone is interested in this carcass or any of it ancinaliary
components including computer or wiring harness, air flow meter and controls
make me an offer for any or all.

I am located in Sunnyvale, CA near San Jose.  I would prefer to unload the
whole thing at once.  E-mail me directly at ricbrown@epri.com if you are
interested in any or all.

Thanks

Rich Brown
