2G 7 bolt engine swap

[krygods]

I have an engine from a '98 that I want to put into my 95 GSX.

I noticed the motor from the '98 has what looks like a cam angle sensor on the intake cam?

My question is what do I need to do in order for the '98 motor to work with my '95 GSX?

I failed to find the correct search terms to find anything with the search function.

Use the sensor and intake cam gear from your 95.

Here's pictures of the what happened to the engine I'm replacing.

Cracked piston is cylinder #2 and the spun rod bearing is cylinder #3.

I did a compression test before the spun rod bearing and cylinder #2 was 30 psi lower but after adding a cap of oil was the same as all the others so I suspected worn rings but, I guess it was a cracked piston! No noticeable damage to the cylinder wall but, I haven't measured it yet.

I have a 98 eclipse N/A, trying to find out what I should do with the car. The motor seized. Still owe a small loan on it. Any ideas, should I do a rebuild kit? Thoughts? Thanks!

I say just rebuild or replace the engine. If you still have a loan on the car, I think it'd be in the best interest to continue using the car, so that the loan doesn't become just a burden on credit. Good luck.

I second that replace that engine with either another rebuilt or used one and keep the old one as as pare for rebuild or parts
