Zx9r engine, good or bad buy???
I'm starting down the road of putting a bike engine in my Clan. I have found a ZX9R engine complete with its wiring loom coils, carbs etc but
missing its exhaust and radiator. The guy wants £400 quid for it which seems a reasonable price. My question though is, are these basically a good
strong engine or do they have any problems which make them unsuitable for use in a car. Many thanks Nigel

Thanks Austen ,just what I wanted to hear. I won't hear the engine going, but at that price i'll do a bit of bargaining and take a chance,

Look how many are in use, must be one of the most popular BEC engines of that capacity. A good price,buy it before the seller ups it 
Update your profile to give your location, you never now how many Locosters live near you.

Rad and exhaust are not important £400 is a bargain if it's good

The C1 engines (around the year 1998) are supposed to have weak gearboxes. I have read a lot about it and seen pictures but I have one of these
engines in my car and have had no problems.
