Hello all,

I've finally thrown in the towel trying to get my XE engine working in my MK Indy (due to a lemon of a "rebuilt" engine from ebay which has had several major issues and now requires a full rebuild!) and after much indecision, decided to go down the new blacktop Zetec route as I can't justify the cost of a full rebuild, can't buy a new XE and just want to get the car on the road with some useable power without worrying about the engine's history!.

So, with much regret , unless somebody can talk me out of it or magically has a reliable XE for sale at reasonable price, I've got a load of almost new XE related bits for sale at less than I paid which might be of interest to some of you:

- SBD low sump (100m height & baffled) and modified pickup, excellent condition (SBD price £290 inc VAT!!). £150 [SOLD]

- Yukspeed XE to Type-9 alloy bellhousing (zero degree) with correct cap-head bolts, as new except primed and sprayed silver on outside to keep it looking pretty £120

- 4 into 1 Stainless custom full exhaust system for C20XE in MK Indy with repackable silencer. Fabricated by Martin Keenan. It now has 2 lambda bosses also (one for ECU, one for rolling road) £450 (cost somewhat more!).

- SBD Distributor blanking plate (minus o-ring) £10 [SOLD]

- SBD Oil Take Off + MOCAL remote filter housing + overbraided pipes with various push-on fittings £30 [SOLD]

- SBD Nylon pressure relief valve kit (hardly any use, a few light surface scratches on the sides which shouldn't affect its performance - cost over £50 from SBD) £25 [SOLD]

- XE starter motor (new / recon unit hardly any use) £40

- Helix Clutch (not paddle type) and "early" XE standard (as far as I can see) flywheel, hardly an use - £? Offers.

- Custom engine mounts to fit C20XE directly into MK indy (pinto chassis) Well made, painted silver - £30

- Custom C20XE to GSXR1000/750 aluminium manifold - this has been cut into 4 individual pieces, one for each port because the numpty who made it (no names) got the port spacing wrong. It also suits a slightly ported head (about 1mm all round the port entrance). Bolts down and seals well and has take-offs for both coolant channels to next to port 1. £75.

- 2 x XE coil packs (3 pin) - £10 each

- Original "BERU" plug leads which I believe are in demand - £? Offers

- Set of brand new ARP con rod bolts for C20XE still in packaging. £50

There's probably some more that I've forgotton - please ask if you're after anything else including bits of the engine (head is OK I believe but I'm keeping the ECU / fuelling bits for now).

Let me know if I'm miles out with these prices or if you want to make an offer!.

Also if anybody is interested in buying as a package, make an offer!

All prices + postage,

Let me know if you want any pictures (I'll be back home Thursday so can take some then).

Cheers

Sorry to hear about your hassles!

Can you drop me a U2U with a price for the sump kit, mocal remote kit and nylon pressure relief kit.

Cheers

Scotty

Is the bellhousing the long or short version (v6 type 9 or 4 pot type 9) and also upright or 7 degree?

Cheers

Hi, the bellhousing is 0 degree (upright). From memory I think it's the short version. I'd have to measure it to make sure though as it was a while ago when I ordered it. Thanks

I'll take the nylon value please. U2U me your details.

Sorry misread cooler lol


Interested in sump too

Nylon relief valve provisionally sold

Do you have any pictures of the exhaust, can't find it on the website of Martin Keenan?

Oh, sorry, he seems to have updated his website. I'll try to add some pictures to my photo archive...

Now added some pics to my archive - note there are now 2 lambda bungs added - both just after 4 into 1 collector (one towards the top, one hidden round the back).

[Edited on 15/2/11 by skidmark]

I'll definately take the sump and pick up pipe if it's still up for grabs. or place me in line for dibs.

U2U how you want paying/plus postage etc.

Wish I'd looked on here at dinner time

Just so everyone is kept aware... I'm out!

Sump is now provisionally sold...

OK, I'm finding it a bit difficult to work out this first and second dibs rule on here. I think I've done the right thing with the sump but just wanted to check before all hell breaks loose with the rest of the stuff.

Offers at the asking price are clear i.e. first one to say they want it on the thread gets first go at purchasing it, if it falls through then second dibs etc.

However, If there are multiple people interested at the same time (but are offering less than the asking price) and a process of bargaining is underway, how does that work? i.e. on here, sometimes you may have to wait for ages or don't even get a reply, if you are waiting for a counter offer from somebody then can you take another firm offer from somebody else? i.e. first dibs goes to the first price offered by seller and AGREED agreed by buyer?

Sorry, I'm a bit new to this and didn't want to disappoint anybody...

ADDED:

- Set of brand new ARP con rod bolts for C20XE still in packaging. £50

any way of having a pic from:

SBD Oil Take Off + MOCAL remote filter housing + overbraided pipes with various push-on fittings £30

I can do some pictures on Thursday / Friday this week when I'm home. Remote oil filter bits are as-new. I think the take-off kit is from SBD (blanking plate and single connection for bottom of oil filter and return on the side of the oil pump) and the MOCAL filter is pretty standard (Sierra oil filter thread I think). The pipes are overbraided with stainless, secured at the ends with jubilee clips onto push-fit fittings.

remote oil kit provisionally sold...

Ill take the blanking plate please.

Also did you buy the clutch new and is it just the 1st stage uprated version that SBD sell??

If so i will be interested in that too.

Distributor blanking plate provisionally sold.


The clutch cover "looks" like a standard type clutch (i.e. not a fancy paddle type or small diameter version) but I believe it's an uprated spec. It has the "helix" sticker on it still.
I did not buy the clutch cover or plate new myself, the person who I bought my "freshly rebuilt" engine from apparently bought it new and fitted it to the engine but didn't get as far as using it. It looked new to me when I bought the engine. I've only done a small number of miles with it (before the engine failed!). I'll have a look at it when I'm home tomorrow evening and see if I can identify the model.

I would like the early flat flywheel please and would you be able to remove the pedistals that the timing belt rollers/tensioners sit on.....and the crank pulley?
Provided it is an early engine.
I have U2U'd an offer.

[Edited on 16/2/11 by SALAD]

It's a late engine (or the block is anyway). The head is an early GM one (recently skimmed with new seals and lifters, standard cams).

Thanks.
