Subject:Complete 1.9 for sale - Best Offer
From:Mark A. Kreuzer
Date:Sun, 12 Mar 2006 12:01:54 -0600

I just got the Bostig Zetec engine installed last week.  I'm flying to
Boston to get my Van and drive it back to Dallas on 3/20.

That means I have a complete 1.9 available.  Very complete, all peripherals
including the exhaust.

Here are the facts:

Engine has 150,000 miles on it.  It leaves about a teaspoon of coolant my
garage floor after sitting.  Previous owner did not run the phosphate free
coolant.

It is leaking about a teaspoon of oil on the right and left sides.  Both
previous owner and I have run the 20w50 oil.

Has a little lifter knock on one side.  I tried to run straight 30 for a few
hundred miles to get the lifter working better and it helped a little.

Does not blow any oil.

Compression test = #1 105-110  #2 135-140  #3 110  #4 105.

I am willing to drop off the engine along the east coast, or in the south,
as I drive back to texas.  Not looking to get a lot out of it.  I'm more
interested in keeping the parts in food chain.
