Like £40, slightly over scrap value. No smoke on startup or anything. Can deliver to meet on 22nd Feb...

[Bazboy]

I am tempted, as mine has been giving me no end of troubles lately, but i may just take the time to fix the problems but it could still be handy to have a spare lying about. Ill have a think about it and let you know, You managed to decide on a price for those window strips?

Wrong place to ask, I know, but you mentioned "no smoke on startup". Well my B14 gives a puff of smoke on startup that definitely smells like burnt engine oil. What is it, worn valve stem seals? (probably NLA...)

[filthyjohn]

My other B14 did that, but only after I'd given it some 7000rpm abuse. I always assumed valve stem seals because it only did it on startup, after the oil had built up a bit.
I hasten to add that the engine for sale here has recieved no such abuse!

You managed to decide on a price for those window strips?

Argh, sorry man I forgot to say, they were destroyed because i sllowed someone else to remove them.

Thats cool, if you manage to find anymore by feb just bring em along and well sort something out, its not desperate as mine are sprayed black only looks bad when you get up close.

Cheers Dan.
