alright im in the middle of rebuilding my 92 gsx i have it completely torn apart and my original plan was i would build the block and head (i have a ghost list made up but i don't need to waist time posting it all) well basically i was cruising craigslist today and came across a 6 bolt motor for sale. I've already contacted a machine shop that is planning on doing the machine work to the head and block. but this guy is selling his for 2k obo with almost a identical part list i had planned - the valve springs are a different brand. NOW i got to thinking. me building my own motor will cost me around 6-8k i would imagine. so i am looking at the savings gap now. i e-mailed the guy who has not responded yet asking who built it, has it ever been ran or turned over. i don't want to spend this money to find out it has a horrible rod knock or something. what would you guys do? part of me wants to say i assembled the motor. but my bank is screaming at me to go the craigslist route. here is what the guys says about the engine.
