Title: 6-71 rebuild kits $925
Post by: buswarrior on February 09, 2008, 03:00:22 PM
Hello

clicked a little further on the link on the MC9 engine serial number thread and found the vendor has a rebuild kit special of 6-71 engines.

Is this any good for anyone?

$925 for all this:    

InLine 6-71 Naturally Aspirated Out-Of-Frame Overhaul Kits with Trunk Style Pistons. The Kit Includes; Cylinder Kits (available in standard & oversized liners), Complete Overhaul Gasket Set, Rocker Cover Gaskets, Crankshaft Thrust Washers, Con Rod and Main Bearings (available in standard and oversized).

the usual, I have no interest, just passing on something I stumbled on.

happy coaching!

That's a great price-as long as the owner NEVER wants to turbo his engine.  I was lucky with my 8V-71N in that the bus company used two piece pistons, even though at the higher compression ratio, allowed me to turbo my engine without a piston change.  Once again-it is a cheap price for a basic overhaul kit.  Good Luck, TomC
