I'm seeing if anyone is interested in a recently rebuilt B18C1 GSR shortblock.

B18C1
-ACL Race Bearings
-New gaskets
-B16 pistons on shot peened GSR rods with ARP rod bolts

I'm in the process of taking the engine out of the car now.

Here's the condition: Engine was rebuilt about 500 miles ago with new OEM gaskets, ACL race bearings, new rings, and ARP rod bolts. cylinder walls were honed and shelf was resurfaced.

after i put the engine back in the car and got it tuned it was burning some oil. i compression tested the engine and all cylinders were around 180 except for cylinder 3, which was about 170psi. i thought it might be the valve seals so i just replaced those and did a leak down test on the engine in all cylinders at TDC and BDC. at TDC all cylinders were below 5% leak. at BDC all were below 5% except for #3, which was at 20% leak.

so from those results, i'm guessing that the cylinder wall in #3 is scratched at the bottom, which is why it's burning oil.

other that that small problem, the engine runs fine and the block is freshly rebuilt.

if you buy the engine, you'll have to bore the cylinders out and get oversized pistons. with .25 OS it'll fix the scratches in cylinder 3.

-one of the headstud threads had a helicoil in it, so i replaced it with a Timesert, which are much more reliable than a helicoil and claim to hold more torque than the OEM threads. i've taken the head off and put it back on multiple times with the Timeserted thread and i've had no problems at all.

check out http://www.timesert.com/index.html for more info about timesert and the advantages over helicoil.

shortblock will include everything BUT:
-pistons/rods (since you'll need to get OS pistons)
-timing belt
-clutch

considering the machine work it needs done i feel that a fair price is: $500 firm

here are some pictures of the block:
