I know that when u go to a used engine dealer and they say under 60K on the motor 90% of the time it is BS but.........

HOW MUCH IS TO MUCH???????

like would a b16A (second gen) with 130 000 k on it be too much milage? if i were to do a leak down and compression and yeild positive results on both is it safe????

Im just worried about how much life it will have left in it....please add your opinions about what u think.....thanks

cee_mon

I would buy any motor if it was in good running order. If you do the test and it has good numbers who cares what the milage is.
What would you rather have....
1) Have a 50K motor that hit redline daily.
2) Motor with 100,000 that was taken care of and it still running like new.

Ill take number 2 to go please.

Ya...thats what i was thinking......because i was looking at buying a complete EG9 front clip from the dashboard foward.....has absolutely everything there......but it has higher milage......

so what numbers should i be getting from a compression test?

210 psi? but it depends on the comp tester... what you want is consistent numbers across the cyls.

to me high mileage isn't really a HUGE concern...

invader, how much on average for those front clips go for?

I dont know......this is a complete 95 EG9 with complete b16 motor swap, rad, a/c, complete dash, and complete front end (with lights hood fenders and bumper)...absoluteley everyything ...car was basically cut after the dash and left nothing is touched....it also has Mugen header

Gunmetalef

go for it... mugen header would make me think.. that they may have beat on it though.. but 2000 is a good deal

i agree, 2000 for all that is a good deal, especially when u can sell off a whole bunch of other parts from that too. ie, fenders, radiator etc. pm me if u end up buying that cuz i need both fenders and a rad
