I want to do a part out of my 13B but

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in anything? the engine is pratically blown i think. it starts up everytime no problem but the e-shaft pulley is loose and theres alot of freeplay along with a horrible grinding nose which i think is the rotors on the housing if i get any interest ill do it because im trying to get the money together for a new engine or im trading my friend for his 1st gen.

That all sounds very bad. Freeplay front to back on the main eccentric pulley means that the torrington bearing assembly has failed. It's likely that very little in that engine is usable.

In general these bearings don't fail. It is almost always builder error when they do.

the engine still starts up fine and it drives but since the day it happened i havent driven it at all. in another post someone told me the same thing so it really does suck. i was only going to part out the externals and if someone really wanted the internals then id sell it for ridiculously cheap because i have no idea if anything is salvagable in the engine.

parting out?

What year is it? I'd be interested in the CAS if it's cheap
