As the title says, I might have a bottom end or some internal failure on my current one, it'd be nice to have one thats still original, working and preferably lower than about 70k mileage, tall order I know but hopefully someone on here might have one? or could point me in the right direction to get one?

either way, whatevers wrong with my current one sounds pretty serious and internal, so i think it would be cheaper just to drop a whole new block in

bump...

I know of one slightly dismantled in a scrapyard if that's any use?

Thanks for the response! thought I would of heard about loads of engines by now, I might be! im still not entirely sure if its my engine at fault, its making a very rough, bottom end sound, so i was planning to just replace the shells.

whats the situation with this one in a scrap yard? how dismantled is it?

Well Jon had the rocker cover off it - I think there are a few other auxiliaries missing but otherwise it's all there.

I had the rocker cover and ICV off it. Might have the inlet manifold off it too, but everything else is there.

I might be interested, whats the reason for you ditching it? is it actually still running or have you had problems with it?

I didn't ditch it, just found it in a scrappy. Seems completely fine. Haven't had the head off but it all seemed peachy in terms of valves and cams.

ooo sorry, i thought it was yours! lol whereabouts? im based in swindon, you reckon its worth checking out?

Would you be interested in a rebuilt F7R?
