Subject:      stuff left for sale
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Hello list-

Here is what I have left for sale--mostly stuff reclaimed from a blown engine from an 84 westy. Everything is--to the best of my knowledge--in working order and in condition expected of parts from an engine with 180,000+ miles unless otherwise noted. Pmail me at scbrug@wm.edu if you have questions and/or offers.

Seth Bruggeman

1. full set of lifters

2. cam shaft w/ gear--no visible signs of excessive wear on journals on lobes..

3. throttle body--this is the two-switch variety; although I can't verify it, I think this body was giving me poor gas mileage (i.e. i think there is a crack in the body that's hidden or very small) because when i swapped it with another, my mileage improved dramatically. This said, I also changed out wiring harnesses at the same time, so who knows??? Anyway, this is the complete body with mounting screws, throttle linkage, idle screw arm, and both switches (both relatively new). I do not have the spring that puts tension on the throttle linkage and idle screw arms or the nut and washer that hold all three in place.

4. half of an a/c compressor backet--the larger half that bolts to the case--missing one mounting bolt

5. distributor shaft

6. power steering bracket with mounting hardware

7. metal coolant pipes: a. pipe from t-stat housing to right head b. pipe from water pump to right water jacket

8. oil/case breather box/tube--the cylindrical black thing that bolts on top of case...

9. complete t-stat housing with relatively new t-stat, does not include coolant temp sensor

10. water pump with pulley

11. four piston rods; only one with bolts connecting two halves of rod

12. complete a/c bracket--both halves with all mounting hardware (this is not the same as the partial bracket above--i think this must be off an 85 engine--the same thing as far as i know)

13. complete manifold assembly including cast manifolds, breather box, the four woven sleeves connecting these, and the cross-over coolant pipe that bolts on above--missing one manifold to head bolt and the nuts for mounting the cross-over pipe...all metal parts freshly painted in gloss black and the woven sleeves are relatively new; was going to use this assembly on a new engine project, but gave up the project before it even started...

14. rubber coolant hoses for engine compartment--the big set that wraps around back of engine between both heads--includes plastic junction and coolant bleeding valve (support tabs broken off of junction and coolant hose nipple on valve broken off—i.e. don’t buy these just for the union piece)

15. lower engine tin--both left and right pushrod cover sheet metal pieces; recently painted gloss black, but now covered with grease and grime...will clean up fine...

16. coolant expansion tank (left tank) with coolant sensor and h-fitting--this is off an 85 but will fit others..needs cleaned and needs new coolant line coming off cap

17. exhaust pipes--the front and back pipes that bolt onto the heads--both in very good condition with less than expected rust
