I have a recently (4-5K miles) rebuilt 2.1 engine that suffered a catastrophic
failure on a recent family vacation.  The engine ran great with excellent oil
pressure, power, etc. before dying of a broken crank.  It was still running
when I had it towed to a shop and it was started several times during the
problem diagnosis process, so I don't think it has other significant internal
damage.  I can either trade it for a new one from AVP or sell it outright.
AVP says it is worth $450 sight unseen, maybe more once they get a look
inside.  I'd let it go for $450 and save myself the shipping costs for the
core.  Since I will be replacing it with a rebuilt engine, I will remove
everything needed for the swap, so what is for sale is the bare long block.
If interested, please p-mail me.
